Two neighbours have built a bridge from one balcony to the other in an East Vancouver neighbourhood. Built as an art sculpture and statement on what it means to be neighbours in a community, the thirty-seven-foot-long bridge spans from the upper-deck of one house to the veranda of its neighbor. The builders’ plan is to auction off the bridge with proceeds going to Presentation House Gallery. Cool.

Bridge Over East Van
Industrial Brand Creative points to an interesting art project going on in East Van. No, it’s not an illegal reno, it’s a bridge between two houses meant as a “discreet work of art” and social comment on architecture, community…

When I saw this artwork it made me even more proud of living in Vancouver’s best neigbourhood. Other Vancouver burrows have their special character but none have the same sense of community that East Van has. I think this piece really speaks to that. Plus, if you got a chance to cross that bridge like I did, you would be blown away by how cool crossing a bridge could be when it’s delicately perched between two houses!
