Western Pedestrian Promenade

Kato Pafos, Pafos, Cyprus

Completed: 2012

A project that establishes a formal coastal promenade, it includes platforms at strategic locations to provide stops and resting points along the walk. The platforms are constructed from recycled wood, and extend from the main path towards the sea, standing perpendicular to the promenade. They are supported by columns, so as to give the impression that they floatabove the rocks and water.Stops are also signified by bespoke benches, which provide resting places and shelter from the sun. Their materials and construction echo that of the platforms. The promenade itself is paved with local white limestone. This enhances the local character and reflects materials used in the ancient city. Another hint towards the heritage of the site is the patterns in the concrete strips and in the paving, designed by the architect and some by the builders, out of off-cuts of marble.
