Hydro-Bridge is a versatile transportation hub spanning the Nakkhu River in Chyasikot, Nepal. It adapts to seasonal shifts, functioning as a pedestrian and light vehicle bridge in dry months and converting into a water storage system and secure campsite during the monsoon. Blending infrastructure with public space, the design prioritizes environmental resilience, sustainability, and community needs while harmonizing with the natural landscape.
