Balance is at the core of Stardust’s design and each interior design element has been thoughtfully and purposely chosen to seamlessly blend with the yacht’s exterior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295030/image/large-e06ed99594895d2701b8200246eb3637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295030">Can you share some career highlights since our last interview back in 2021?Yes, I have been working on the refits of a few <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> yachts in Italy and in Miami. Some clients had yachts coming from Europe and they needed them to be refitted here locally, while another client did a refit in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/681" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Marine (Company)">Monaco Marine</a> and we delivered the yacht to Europe. I have also been working on a new project, a big catamaran, but I can’t reveal which shipyard this is for yet, it is approximately 40-metres. I have been working on some residential projects which are connected with the yacht world in terms of location, style and design, they will be revealed soon. I divide my work between residential projects and yachts.

(Company)">Pershing</a>, completed the Navetta and at the time of our last interview I had completed the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4472" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dynamiq Yachts (Company)">Dynamiq</a> GTT 135 superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7937" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stefania41.0m (134'6&quot;)Dynamiq Yachts2021">Stefania</a>. There is a lot of refit work here in Florida so that’s what I have been doing recently, as well as a collaboration with Exclusive Resort on some residential resort projects. Notably, I have worked on a 50-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> yacht, though I can’t share more details, it was completely original and we incorporated some unique elements that we generally never see on yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291790/image/large-2c102f7b3c5744c0ea0c08a249a29efa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291790">Could you share insights into how your collaboration with&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a>&nbsp;came about and what the design brief for this new concept was?We spoke a lot about a possible collaboration and how they were willing to launch a new project which would feature unique exterior lines and distinctive interiors. They found a great exterior designer who provides high quality work and asked me if I wanted to be involved in the process. I was enthusiastic about the collaboration because I have always loved <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a> shipyard and the modern, contemporary, sleek interiors which they normally produce. We had a quick briefing and they informed me about the young client’s design preferences. I tried to create an interior which seamlessly matched the yacht’s profile, bringing the exterior lines and conceptual elements into the interior. The name Stardust conveys how unique the project is, contrasting the darkness of the sky with the brightness of the stars. These elements of dark grey and bright highlights are evident in the yacht’s exterior and I tried to emulate this, creating a one of a kind interior. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291789/image/large-75b096db1790d55128d6b7acf605555d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291789"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291792/image/large-538731170f9250f64c77cf915512abc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291792">What stylistic inspiration influenced your vision for the interiors of Stardust?The interior design of Stardust is very masculine whilst also remaining elegant and relaxing for guests onboard. In terms of the use of colours and shapes, the design inspiration stems back to the concept of compromise and harmony. The interiors showcase contrasting tones which aren’t too dark but remain modern. The overall goal was to achieve a synergy between the interior and exterior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291786/image/large-46eea9b2b12004ea4ccae9ee69aed51b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291786">A notable feature onboard the Stardust yacht concept is the inclusion of floor to ceiling windows, how do these align with the overall vision for the yacht’s interior?The inclusion of floor to ceiling windows was crucial to the design of the yacht and I worked closely with the exterior designer to seamlessly integrate them. One of the pivotal spaces onboard Stardust is the beach club area, it strongly conveys the connection between the exterior and the interior. Continuity was key to the beach club’s style, the walls are adorned in high gloss with metal profiles and one of the two doors in the area is hidden. The generous space of the beach club can house a small gym, spa, steam room, seating area and a bar in a type of all-encompassing lounge which is connected to the cockpit through a shared skylight. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291794/image/large-6387b54ee7cb940dd62406394cc70593.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291794"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293672/image/large-d0bc1d6a039435e7c88d0090ca6ebed3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293672">Functionality and elegance often coexist within your yacht designs, what challenges did you face with Stardust when designing practical yet luxurious living spaces?The connection and dialogue with the shipyard during the design process was crucial. We discussed the technical features which would be incorporated into Stardust. Form follows function, in this case both aspects came together because the shipyard asked us to consider functionality during the planning stages. We worked closely with the technical department during the initial phases, considering questions like where do we put the ventilation tank for the engine room? In addition, storage was key and predominantly located in the two staterooms and behind the library in the saloon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293666/image/large-9f0ed087b4712c4964a85f6d9bf39ab7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293666"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293668/image/large-8f6af90441204681039c6f40c50d0c35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293668">The upper deck showcases an impressive owner’s suite, with access to a private pool, in what ways has privacy and exclusivity been incorporated into Stardust’s design?In terms of what sets the design of Stardust apart from other yachts, I would have to say the detailed finishes and the unique ceiling. Regarding exclusivity, the partition behind the bed in the master suite echoes residential interior design, whilst maintaining the yacht element. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291796/image/large-082a5d9d1676131f398b3a2da933c75f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291796"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/292669/image/large-427bc3c0640cf4f28c0fdc00180e96fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/292669"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293663/image/large-9efbdf6b13f644210bddfa03bb99467f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293663">Meticulous attention to detail is a trademark of your design style, which unique intricate design elements have been incorporated into the Stardust concept?We paid attention to the details of the furniture because we wanted the intricate design elements to be unique. The entrance showcases two symmetrical shelved libraries, featuring high gloss finishes, combining vertical and horizontal metal. As I mentioned, storage was an important architectural feature to consider when designing the interiors. The first lounge area displays floor to ceiling windows and houses free standing, floating furniture. We created a very elegant and modern design, showcasing sleek lines, particularly in the forward partition in the main saloon. The saloon displays metallic tones, which aren’t intensely shiny, reminiscent of an industrial style, this creates a cloudy effect which is very fitting for the Stardust concept.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293665/image/large-864ce2a0427d0810ad610eaf2f90c10c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293665"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293661/image/large-4cdd96a1f05430dd3fd0f94360698755.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293661">The rigid lines of the saloon are echoed in the master suite, contrasting a comfortable and chic design with modern and firm features. Notably, a unique wall is situated behind the headboard in the master stateroom, creating the sense of a partition from the port to the starboard side. The fixed lines contrast with the curved, soft furniture within the suite. Forward of the master stateroom is the private pool, this offers guests a calm sanctuary to enjoy, while an exclusive office and ensuite are also situated in the stateroom and will reflect the style of the master suite.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293670/image/large-a272b8c8d242993f3194b765827fdd66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293670"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293671/image/large-2138be1eb04fdb314d9600312c0a85b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293671">In what ways have you employed specific shapes and colours to create a sense of serenity onboard?Stardust’s exterior significantly shaped the interior design. I started with the lines, I tried to match the smooth exterior lines with more rounded lines. The lighting was also key as we wanted to create a similar atmosphere to the yacht’s bright exterior, blending the two together. Harmonising the interior colours was a key design element, fusing muted grey and darker tones with high gloss finishings. We also worked with a beige milky colour, reflective of the Milky Way and we wanted to add a touch of light into the carpeting and the precious stone in the dining area, to adhere to the project’s Stardust title. The carpet in the lounge area encapsulates this goal, transforming the darker elements to feature bright accents. These celestial interior design features are part of the reason why Stardust is most effectively presented during the night. The yacht concept derived from the desire to create a dark elegant atmosphere, characterised by elements of brightness, this was achieved through the furniture and lighting.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293664/image/large-b50c81ccfd65c8acbdc055e9025d5367.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293664"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291795/image/large-2860551c8bc4268047d2622b4efdffca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291795">Another distinctive design aspect onboard Stardust is the dark grey mirror. This interior feature blends with Stardust’s signature high gloss finishes, to form a subtle depth. I would also consider the dining table to be a masterpiece. It is crafted from both wood and grey glass and situated above an organic carpet, this pairing stands out in the main saloon which is otherwise characterised by a rigid, geometric design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/291797/image/large-6d0327cbcde8ee2c004a8261dc7a5985.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/291797"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293669/image/large-9e8f54afa3fa3e0ebae7453812fc6ef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293669">Looking forward, could you share what lies ahead for you in terms of future yacht designs and concepts?Hopefully by the next article I can be clearer and share more details about my upcoming projects. I am currently waiting for the green light from the shipyard to reveal this next project, it will be a completely different concept from Stardust, something one of a kind which truly represents my firm. The beauty of working with clients is that you can bring their visions to life, whilst experimenting and growing as a designer, allowing you to become very eclectic, this is at the heart of my work.

It has daylight visibility and you can watch a movie or stream sports at any time of day, without any impact on quality,” says Westwood. “The Focal audio system is also phenomenal, and we oversaw an extensive study to optimise the onboard acoustics.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289875/image/large-3db1a69583e4721128aff2f81cdf07eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289875">The story is very similar to the second unit from the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Admiral (Company)">Admiral</a> S-Force 55 series, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10188" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Star55.2m (181'1&quot;)Admiral2023">Silver Star</a>.

But it’s important that they don’t feel they’ve become part of the team by picking up administrative and technical tasks. The project manager acts as an intermediary between the client and shipyard, ensuring joy and peace of mind.”No truer is this than during the “make or break” transitional period that spans the last 5 percent of a build to the end of the first year of ownership. “It’s arguably the most important and memorable part of the build. You’ll either make a client extremely happy or lose them,” says Westwood. “The last months before delivery is when everything comes together – not only on the yacht itself but also all the necessary and legal bureaucracy for operations.”All the loose furnishings, cutlery, crockery and artwork will be added to the yacht, at the same time surveyors and lawyers will be making their inspections. Banking systems will be set up, the crew will be found and all the necessary equipment and provisioning, from medical kits and spare parts to deep-freeze supplies, will be finalised. It’s busy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289873/image/large-4385a06c3565264ebb7e1154f2fa8c81.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289873"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289874/image/large-af60bc176eebe02ddc9fff0d360ddece.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289874">“We’re about to deliver the second <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> B.Now 50m Oasis Deck, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/11043" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alunya49.9m (163'9&quot;)Benetti SpA2023">Alunya</a>, to a client who wants to get underway immediately upon delivery – any day later is a day lost from their maiden voyage,” says Westwood. “As we’ve been involved since early on in the project our team has been able to pick up on all potential issues long in advance, ensuring our clients receive their yacht precisely when promised.”When it comes to unsuspected issues, refits and rebuilds can be like opening Pandora’s Box. “We recently delivered the 50.4-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/29" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Feadship (Company)">Feadship</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/853" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Emerald50.4m (165'4&quot;)Feadship1990">Emerald</a> that undertook a major rebuild at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/434" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Balk Shipyard (Company)">Balk Shipyard</a>.

It had its own set of challenges but our team ensured a smooth transformation.”Management doesn’t stop at delivery though, and owners can benefit greatly from hiring a third party to oversee the operations of their yacht – banking, procedures, legislation, etc. “We use a tailored cloud-based system for each yacht we’re managing, which allows for 24/7 access,” Westwood explains. “ The level of service we offer is scalar and dependent upon needs, but each of our clients has a dedicated yacht manager and DPA and a wealth of knowledge pooled from our team as needed.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/289876/image/large-5b4421cb9fae6fefcc72e248e6edb1d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/289876">“I’m incredibly proud of the team Michael White and I have built at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="TWW Yachts (Company)">TWW Yachts</a>,” Westwood adds. “The entire team is committed, passionate and incredibly knowledgeable.

How TWW's strong project management guarantees the most optimised superyacht

TWW Yachts has delivered seven superyachts in the past twelve months, including the 49.9-metre Tankoa Grey and the 55-metre Admiral Silver Star

Strong project management guarantees the most optimised superyacht, every time. Here’s why

During my time at the Politecnico in Milan, where I completed my bachelors in interior design, I came across the Yacht Design master's projects that I ended up pursuing afterwards. These projects, comprising both sail and motorboats, struck me with their exceptional beauty and innovation. This experience inspired my decision to pursue a career in yacht design.My career started at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3025" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alberto Mancini Yacht Design (Company)">AM Yacht Design</a> in Trieste. After winning the Young Designer of the Year Award in 2018, I briefly worked at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> styling department in Monaco. I then joined <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design (Company)">Sinot Yachts Architecture &amp; Design</a> in the Netherlands. This was a pivotal experience in my professional journey as it enabled me to develop a unique perspective of the design philosophies and approaches in general, I have always aimed to study and analyse anything with a critical eye in order to objectively weigh the strengths and weaknesses inherent to every aspect of the reality I had to develop.&nbsp;Over the years, I have worked and pushed myself to shape my own vision of yacht design with the goal of setting up my own studio, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6288" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Piredda & Partners (Company)">Piredda &amp; Partners</a>. We are currently a team of five and are in the process of expansion as the number of projects are increasing. &nbsp;Could you share how the firm has evolved over the years and elaborate on the projects you are involved in?The company's current structure is built upon four key pillars: design, encompassing both exterior and interior aspects; a dedicated department for images and visual representation; and the technical department, responsible for handling technical and architectural details, among other responsibilities. These four pillars serve as the foundation for the structure and processes of all our projects.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/240783/image/large-462b908866a5c00273535348730cb6ba.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/240783">When we founded the company we had no projects or prospective projects of any kind, we spent the first year trying to get noticed by the industry and building up our reputation. The main objective for the second year was to ensure our first construction - the first 50-metre of the Panorama series. Venturing into the third year, we transformed from a startup into an affirmed superyacht design firm expanding the team and the number of projects. During this period, we had the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional stakeholders. Notably, we have established a partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Admiral (Company)">Admiral Yachts</a>, on the aforementioned Panorama series, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">Silver Yachts</a> for the interior design of the 79.5-meter <a data-gid="gid://syiq/YachtModel/12322" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Edge79.5m (260'10&quot;)">Silver Edge</a>.

We steer clear of mere stylistic exercises which are projects, crafted solely for their aesthetic appeal and conformity to contemporary trends. Although we recognise that there is a market demand for such designs. Instead, our focus lies in augmenting each project with a distinctive value, transforming it into an iconic creation with a clear purpose. Our projects must possess inherent beauty, and also resonate with the spirit of the times in which they are conceived.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/205671/image/large-cb06e14a1cfe837843874786bdf87e11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/205671"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/205677/image/large-547ab86829ebc2c318fba2f658bb8303.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/205677">A prime example of this approach is evident in the 71.5-metre Ashera project, where our aim was not to create something eccentric or unconventional, but a design that fit today’s aesthetics while introducing a strong concept. Together with the refined reflections that define a clean hull whose surface softly embraces the deck above, Ashera presents a never-seen colonnade on the forward deck. An engineering challenge that brings the structural skeleton outside, detached from the glass housing, leaving just a transparent wall dividing the grand salon from the outside.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/205673/image/large-451d0ab33ab7de0ff36993196a72dffc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/205673"> How does&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6288" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Piredda & Partners (Company)">Piredda &amp; Partners</a>&nbsp;differ from other yacht design houses?One of our key strengths is our unique approach to every project. Our goal is not just to create stylish designs; we aspire to craft projects that become iconic in the world of yachting and stand the test of time. We are constantly seeking new standards and pioneering projects that can become the new classics. This philosophy underpins our entire approach; we're not merely focused on design for design's sake.On a more practical perspective, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6288" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Piredda & Partners (Company)">Piredda &amp; Partners</a> places significant emphasis on efficient project management. Take, for instance, our work on the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">Silver Yachts</a> project. The initial designs you saw at the show were just preliminary proposals; the final design, which will be more detailed, will emerge during the construction phase.&nbsp;Our ability to conceptualise, develop, and deliver this project within a matter of weeks is indicative of our streamlined workflow. We minimise internal processes and this approach allows us to significantly cut project timelines, delivering nearly finalised proposals in a very short time. This efficiency is something our shipyard partners, brokers, and clients highly value.In essence, we're an emerging force in the industry, building our reputation is an ongoing journey. In every project, we invest all of our effort to ensure it becomes a representation of our capabilities. This fusion of innovation and efficiency defines our distinctive approach to yacht design.How do you ensure that the designs&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6288" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Piredda & Partners (Company)">Piredda &amp; Partners</a>&nbsp;develop today remain relevant and trendy when the yacht is delivered in the next 4-5 years?Ensuring the designs remain relevant and trendy in the future is one of the biggest challenges for a designer. While it's important to follow current trends, we can't afford to create a yacht that will appear outdated in just five years. As designers, we must anticipate future trends. When I sketch a design on paper, I envision what I believe the best yachts will look like in five or ten years. This involves betting on a vision of the future, not simply replicating the yachts of today.We aim to create designs that stand the test of time, not mere styling exercises. Our focus is on crafting projects that can be appreciated a decade or more down the line. There are numerous examples of yachts from the '90s and 2000s that are still recognised as icons and haven't aged but are acknowledged as great classics.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290373/image/large-20cff3d85d3254e2acc99904601dc4d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290373">For instance, take our Project Panorama. We aimed to create something that would please everyone, because of course it had to go on the market, but we also had to ensure it would withstand the test of time and become a new classic. The objective wasn't just to design a beautiful yacht; it was to design a yacht that was, in its own way, classic and revolutionary at the same time. From this idea, emerged the radical and futuristic concept of the four-deck under 500 GT, featuring a layout typical of the superyachts while maintaining the best aesthetic. We pursued a "new classic" aesthetic. This meant an obsessive search for perfect proportions and surfaces with soft, well-crafted reflections. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290367/image/large-b5c3d0dd1e43b3a135e01bd1cf27358b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290367">Are there any upcoming projects, developments, or plans you would like to share?I truly cannot wait to share all the insights that currently have on our desks, but everything comes at the right time. At present, our collaborative efforts extend to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Admiral (Company)">Admiral</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/899" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Silver Yachts (Company)">Silver Yachts</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a>. Nevertheless, we are more and more engaged with brokerage agencies and private clients, focusing on the custom market. Despite our status as a relatively young firm, our objective is to work with a diverse range of partners. We have received great interest from the market and we are now handling truly fascinating and inspiring new designs.Finally, if you could purchase your own yacht or advise a client, is there one design feature you feel has the most impact on a luxurious experience onboard?When it comes to custom designs, I have a profound appreciation for projects that stand out and become recognisable icons or pioneers in nautical history. These are the designs that have a compelling story to tell. If I were to purchase my own yacht or advise a client on the exterior, I'd prioritise the proportions, ensuring they are both striking and harmonious.<img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/290369/image/large-6bd48ae01fac7bc821c5b29b1db9e00e.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20231017%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20231017T114429Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=a8a13ba166773232c2c012b42b94a50c46a05f97e4ec1dcac69c790d45228d6e" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290369">While inside the yacht, the key focus would be on creating a living environment that seamlessly adapts to the changing play of light, defining a unique atmosphere throughout the day. A piece of advice would be to see your yacht as the ultimate expression of your lifestyle and the extension of your own soul, she does not have to please everyone. The time spent onboard has to make you feel like on cloud nine. So, do not just follow the trends and think about creating your little piece of paradise.
