This yacht offers a sanctuary that whispers tranquility. Neither the anticipated dazzling lights nor the myriad of intricate finishes extend one’s greetings.

The desire to create luxury through artistic flair and extra detailing always permeates a designer’s mind. However, this firm’s design does not contend with the beauty of the surrounding nature, but rather seamlessly guides one’s mind into a world of repose.

The designers wanted the exterior surrounding to start the visual dialogue with the interior, so embracing the language of marine design was the beginning of the narrative and creating understated luxury was key during the design process.

Stepping onto the bridge deck, one is struck by the interplay with nature, with expansive windows that stretch from ceiling to floor. Fumed-oak wall finishes complete the frame, casting a warm undertone. Restrained curves add gentleness, complemented by thoughtfully curated furnishings. Hints of blush and sand-colored carpets infuse a tapestry of colors and rich textures.

A staircase captures one’s gaze with its undulations conjuring an artistic expression in motion. Enveloped by walls upholstered in soft leather, the metal core strikes an elegant equilibrium. Indirect lighting cleanses the space, while the organic opening on the wall introduces a splash of color.

The stateroom evokes further curiosity with its clean and bright ceiling. The azure sea beyond the window serves as a backdrop to the pastel, blue-toned furnishings, resulting in an interplay of textures, transparency, and varying degrees of sheen.

Ascending the staircase, a shifting landscape is revealed through a wooden ceiling. The layered planes infuse a sense of depth, while the interplay of lighting orchestrates a soft luminosity. The curation of furniture shifts harmoniously with the space’s essence, guiding it towards an unbuttoned milieu.

Simplicity reigns as all functional components remain concealed. When the door of the cocktail bar swings open, much like unveiling a cabinet of curiosities, a new narrative takes its place. At every stage of the process, there was a commitment to a perfect level of execution and the importance of a dry finish pallet was paramount in order to not compete with the reflectivity of the surrounding waters.

Stepping out into the outdoor space to savor a cocktail reveals a welcoming lounge. Custom-designed outdoor furniture adorns the bridge and sun deck, seamlessly integrating into the form of the space. The ergonomically designed pieces, draped in neutral-toned fabrics, strikes a balance with the classic touch of wood finishes.

The initial understated impression gradually comes to life as one traverses the spaces. Subdued, yet distinctly resonating with its own voice, the spaces strike a delicate equilibrium where the quintessential act of repose takes precedence. The outcome suggests a concept of luxury seen through a new lens.
