Best Buddies (Nautor Swan 441 R) was built in 1976 as a race version with an outstanding sailing performance, but without any comfort whatsoever below deck. Giving careful consideration of its history, we aligned this internationally successful regatta yacht with the need of its new owner. A bar and stove heated by diesel oil became the focal points of the comfortable and charming interior. Today this yacht is on the cutting edge once again.
Back to nature – states the concept of MY Polaris and the interior of 148 feet of length. The yacht has ice classification and leads to a different way of travelling – into the northern regions. The interior features a lot of light coloured oak wood for high comfort. Located on the Sky Deck is an additional Salon with a Bar and a large Gym area with a professional equipped Spa.
This Global Express XRS by Bombadier offers the longest distance trips compared to its room volume. From our long term experience in the maritime field we know how close the user is to the surrounding materials. Therefore we have chosen only materials of the highest quality such as stingray skin for the table, black mother of pearl recessed in to the surfaces and precious Makassar-Ebony wood for walls and furniture.
It´s all about the view. This is truly the most impressive part of this beautiful 400 sqm beach house at the Baltic Sea in Northern Germany. We have chosen a back holding interior design that does not compete with the surrounding of this new build. Easy and neutral is the concept and nicely aged broad panelled timber flooring and cosy furniture invites the Owner and his guests.
For the US-American shipping company Royal Carribean Cruises we participated the post-design phase of MS Quantum of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas. This includes the translation of essential sketches and ideas of the American Architects into building reality and high-class detailing. The vessels were built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, North-Germany. Until today we accompanied five sister ships and expanded our skills in this field.
What will future sailing yachts look like below deck? This was a question of Michael Schmidt, head of Hanse Yachts Group, Germany, addressed to oneself and us. We translated the minimalistic loft style into a timeless design prepared to be sailed in rough seas also. A headstone and a perfect example of contemporary style and the new “Hanse-Signature-Style” was set.
The owner of Catwalk had clear visions for his yacht. Nevertheless we were able to surprise him. The naming is programme: From the rear entrance all the way through to the dining table in front you walk on a catwalk made of various structured materials. A bar on the main deck stands for a smooth transition between inside and outside. The sophisticated lighting design for the yacht responds to the time of the day, different moods and circumstances.
