Baranowitz + Kronenberg unveil Antasia Beach Club on Cyprus’ Sodap beach

The Paphos restaurant, designed by Psomas Studios of Architecture with interior design by Baranowitz + Kronenberg, overlooks the waters of the Mediterranean sea

by Connor Gill 13 January 2022

Blending into the dunes of the sandy beach, the restaurant gradually reveals itself as guests descend from the top terrace to the beach level below.

The avant-garde interior design is unique to the area's typical architecture.  A rooftop terrace, accessed by an impressive staircase, reveals views of Paphos Castle. 

Antasia Beach Club is embedded within the beach below, only revealing itself after the descent from the terrace.

Inside, the seating arrangement has been carefully considered to amplify the views of the sea.  A white sea of scales has been introduced throughout the space. The designers played with size and structure combined with opaque and reflective finishes to add a touch of affluence to the oceanic backdrop.  

Bleached scrap wood tables add a flair of simplicity for a more relaxing environment, and floor-to-ceiling windows emphasise the natural backdrop beyond.

A white terrazzo floor echoes the seafoam while contrasting with the exposed concrete ceiling. A stainless steel bar topped in terrazzo speckled in blue and green works in harmony with the grey hues of the alabaster communal table, while brass pendant lights add a an intimate feel to the room.
