Landscape architecture practice Maetherea Studio has used rusty iron rebars to create an "amphibious" installation that emerges from reedbeds of the River Yare in Norfolk.

Named Iron Reef, the installation is made from slim vertical bars of red-toned weathered metal that increase in height in a curved formation.

Maetherea Studio's design draws on the local landscape and is designed to sit in both the earth and water to withstand changing tides at the site.

Iron Reef is a landscape installation formed of rebar

"As an amphibious structure, it can live on both earth and water," the studio told Dezeen.

"Being cyclically submerged by the winter tides, it emerges as a landmark between the reeds, like a wherry's sail, the traditional Norfolk boats sailing on the Broads."

The rebars form the main part of Iron Reef, placed vertically to mimic the surrounding reeds.

In plan, they are arranged in two C shapes along either side of a curving boardwalk.

"The Iron Reef is a site-specific sculpture, interacting with the site and its landscape as a performance," said Maetherea Studio.

"Rebars are its vertical elements, they tie the natural environment evoking the reeds, gently oscillating on the horizon."
