The Guard Patrol is Mjölk Architects’ installation of a mountain viewpoint series of four structures, created to celebrate local history and landscape
Four mountain viewpoint structures, high above the town of Rokytnice in the Czech Republic, provide spectacular platforms from which to take in the densely forested slopes and valley below. The sentinels stand watch on the Stráž mountain, or Strážník, once a regional look-out for those tasked with detecting approaching enemy forces.The four new guard towers have a thankfully peaceful brief.
They share the same architectural details, from the oak cladding panels to the black-painted steel handrails and stainless-steel mesh guardrails.Each structure visually evokes its namesake. The Miner is perhaps the most dramatic, a towering presence that’s reached by traversing a footbridge. Unsurprisingly, the name references the region’s mining past, as well as being the symbol of the village of Rokytno.
