The Guard Patrol

Lokalita: Rokytnice nad Jizerou, Česká republika

“The Guard Patrol project began in 2014, when we designed a series of small stops on the mountain above Rokytnice. It was conceived from the original intention of the municipality to build a classic lookout tower on the top. However, the morphology of the mountain proved unsuitable for the construction of an observation tower, as it did not provide sufficient views at standard heights. Therefore, we opted for the concept of several stops on the rocks that line the top of the mountain. We were inspired by the figures in the town's coat of arms to create light steel structures sheathed in wood. And so today the town is watched over by its four patrons - the Fox, the Bear, the Sheep and the Miner - Guard Patrol.”
