Crafted for Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Raymond Blanc’s two-star Michelin hotel and restaurant, this bridge revitalized the Japanese garden, replacing a deteriorated glulam structure. To ensure strength and durability, the main carriage beam sections were kept substantial.

Reviving 17th-century Chinoiserie and Japonisme trends, the oak bridge perfectly complemented the refurbished Japanese garden. Manual assembly, aided by a gantry scaffold, positioned the main beams due to limited vehicle access. The Mushroom Bridge spanned a container cultivating restaurant fungi. Curved timber
segments formed the arch and handrails, while Chestnut poles masked the container.
