Sunset Hammock
Glavovic Studio
In the heart of Florida’s Everglades, home to the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States, a bold new structure connects people with nature. The vivid red walkway at Sunset Point Park stands out amidst the vast green landscape, highlighting the significance of the Everglades’ wetland ecosystem while bridging the gap between natural and artificial infrastructures of mansions, corporate centers, and warehouses. At the end of the walkway, a large periscope allows visitors to enjoy views beyond the six-lane road beside the pathway.
The walkway, which runs along the ground, is elevated on a cantilevered structure where the periscope is installed. The protruding structure on the flat terrain resembles a hammock with a parabolic curve. Within a 6×1m tilted at a 45-degree angle, mirrors capture and reflect the surrounding landscape, offering a dynamic, multi-dimensional perspective. The rhythmic arrangement of red aluminum elements over 60 meters provides a sharp contrast to the natural setting, framing the experience of balance between nature and human intervention.
