The Task

We were approached by the shipyard which initially assigned to us the exterior styling and the interior design.

A year later, we were assigned to do the naval studies, the interior and exterior works, the teak decking, the naval studies for the heightening of the main deck and the extension of the wheelhouse, and the consulting of the project.

The Challenge

The vessel had a limited set of naval drawings and studies which, apart from being outdated, were not sufficient for the completion of the conversion.

We visited the project on-site, we completed the 3D scanning and produced a complete set of naval drawings and studies together with interior design 3D renders and layouts.

A completely fresh and upgraded vessel with an extended lifespan, new machinery, yacht interiors and upgraded features, ready to please and entertain the Owner and the passengers.
