Developed in close collaboration with the City, the project needed to effectively restrict motor vehicle access while contributing to the harmonious development of the urban landscape.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our team created multifunctional mobile barriers that stand out thanks to their thoughtful design and smart integration of urban furniture elements. Each structure features a sturdy aluminum bench, offering pedestrians a convenient place to rest. Weather-resistant and easy to maintain, these benches help make the pedestrian zone more accessible and enjoyable.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To further enhance the user experience, each barrier also includes an integrated aluminum flower box. This element brings a refreshing touch of greenery to the urban setting, contributing to a lively, welcoming, and vibrant environment. The addition of plants and flowers beautifies the space while promoting a sense of well-being among citizens and visitors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Each barrier also includes a privacy panel. Designed to define space while providing visual separation, this element enhances the safety and comfort of the pedestrian zone. It contributes to the overall cohesion of the installation while reinforcing both its functionality and aesthetic appeal.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The choice of materials was key to ensuring the durability of the installation in variable weather conditions. By combining treated wood, aluminum composite, painted aluminum, and adhesive vinyl, we achieved a balance of strength, lightness, and elegance. The vibrant, modern color palette was chosen to align with the city\u2019s new brand identity, \u201cDouce Rebel,\u201d while adding a contemporary flair.<\/span><span data-ccp-props='{\"134233117\":false,\"134233118\":false,\"335559738\":240,\"335559739\":240}'>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This project was a resounding success, winning 1st place in the \u201cSignage Projects\u201d category.
