NG Phaselis Bay 2025

Our approach

The jetty rail was re-run in fresh natural rope, swagged post to post at a constant drop so the rhythm reads down the whole walk from the beach, and hand-spliced at every fixing instead of clamped — a splice sits flush, leaves nothing sharp where hands run, and is what makes the rail renewable a section at a time without touching the posts. The posts themselves are wrapped where a hand naturally lands. On the rocky shore stairs the same rail continues with the post spacing set to the stone rather than to a grid, so the walk reads as one line from the water. In the beach lounge, the rope goes vertical: structural columns and a pine trunk wrapped in continuous jute, so the pavilion reads as one material with the deck, and a backdrop wall of hand-wound wool balls over a knotted fringe hung where guests sit facing the sea. Undyed throughout — on this coast anything dyed gives itself away by the second season, and undyed rope lets the renewed sections settle in with the old.
