The Voroklini Coastal Promenade lies between an existing resort development and the coastal edge, bordering a number of private and state properties that have, over time, encroached on the beach. We set out to create a walkway that would provide leisure activities for the public and act as a threshold between private development and the public beach. The promenade consists of a series of platforms, canopies and lighting elements unified by a meandering path that loosely follows the coastline, widening and narrowing to create a series of specific places along the way. Far from imitating nature, the walkway introduces an element of  ‘urbanising’ of the coastal space,  through layering and terracing and through the creation of resting and meeting areas.  The path itself plays against the curves of the coast. Different materials interchange along as it evolves.  A new edge is introduced – hard and defined against the beach or else soft, receding into the sand.
