people felt comfortable to be in. Clever use of spaces was needed to ensure that storage requirements of the crew were met, whilst not compromising the interior design.
Y.CO have been successfully shortlisted for the International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2014. OCEAN PARADISE will compete for the Power Yacht over 40m Award.
Clean lines of the interior with the panelling accented by LED lighting gives the feeling that everything was floating. RGB LED lights were also used to help set the mood in the cabins and salons. Stitched leather panels were desired for the cabins and main stair case, where the stitching styles of Lamborghini, Ferrari classic, Chevy are seen.
Ocean Paradise is 55m of unbridled luxury, where the senses of sea, air and light combine in the funkiest of forms. The vision of the owners was to think outside the box of conformity to bring the elements of light and the sea into the interior. Large windows and un-obstructed views of the sea, with open light spaces were key. The interior had to be contemporary but cool as well. Funky, Fun and functional. The fabrics and materials from the marble to the cushions all had to engage the senses, sight and touch. Where possible every effort was made to open spaces to give an uncluttered but still comfortable feel. The aim was to have an interior that
The fun element to the design extends to the exterior where the brightly coloured cushions and poufs shout out comfort. The exterior brief was to keep the funk! Carbon fiber bars and DJ table keep the decks looking racy, whilst the loose furniture can all be arranged as desired, including a hidden 12 seat table on the sundeck. The upper deck aft has many carbon fiber features including a glass and carbon table with skylight into the main salon, as well as a carbon fiber bar. www.y.co

Shortlisted: Autoban in the International Yacht and Aviation Awards 2014 Autoban have achieved further shortlist success in the International Yacht and Aviation Awards 2014 with their project “Heydar Aliyev International Airport” entering the Airline Lounge category. Submitted by: Autoban Interior Designer: Seyhan Özemir, Sefer Caglar Exterior Designer: ARUP The design concept of the terminal interior is based on breaking away from the typology of conventional airports that overwhelm
passengers with their scale, standards and technology. The design takes inspiration from the hospitality feature of Azerbaijani culture, and the country’s recent social and economic transformations, the aim has been to create a welcoming, comfortable and contemporary environment generating a sense of belonging and a homely feel – a brand new passenger experience. This approach also encouraged unconventional thinking in terms of forms, materials and production methods. The largest interior components are custommade wooden cocoon units installed at social areas in an attempt to create different perceptions of height to break the monotony www.autoban.com.tr/#/home
finot-conq ARCHITECTES Compete for the Sailing Yacht Over 30 Metres Award in the IY&A Awards 2014 finot-conq ARCHITECTES have been shortlisted for the International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2014. NOMAD IV will compete for the Sailing Yacht over 30 metres Award. Upon first look, it is quite obvious that this boat is a bit on the radical side of the 100’ playing field, with proportions that are quite different from most 100’ cruising yachts out there. That was to be expected from the extremely simple design brief that the owner gave the designer at the beginning of the international architects’ contest that led to the project. She was to be the fastest cruising 100 footer in the world. The operative word here is, in fact, “cruising”: How do you pack first class accommodation for 12 guests and 3-4 crew, with at least 16sqm for the owner’s cabin and ample headroom throughout in a very fast yacht ? The cockpit should also be able to host a party for at least 50 persons. And the yacht should sail very close to her maximum speed at a comfortable cruising heel angle of 12° or less, with a sail plan optimised for the Mediterranean light airs. www.finot-conq.com
Further Shortlist Success for YachtNext in the IY&A Awards 2014 YachtNext have achieved further shortlist success in the International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2014 with M/Y Finishline shortlisted for both the Power Yacht 25-40m Award and the Yacht Interior Design Award. From the finest fabrics and materials all the way through the complete outfitting of this project no details were spared. Beginning from the custom exterior to the interior of this yacht, the opportunity for YachtNext has been profoundly rewarding. Some of the materials used on the project consisted of: Custom silk carpets, designed pattern marble/glass stone foyers, imported Smokey
quartz backlit bar, high gloss sapele in 2 tone finish with Polish Nickel inlays, custom designer furniture. The process for this yacht began with the General Arrangement and Exterior Styling. YachtNext’s 3D renderings of the interior enabled the owners to approve the concept & design intent. The design brief for this project was inspired by a relaxed family atmosphere: Each stateroom was designed to transform into additional sleep arrangements and includes a bed conversion into a playroom (queen bed to sofa). Also, twin beds were to transform into a queen bed for guests. The owners’ cabin was to be fully equipped with a full 26’ beam walk in closet. www.yachtnext.com

Cacos V is a 40-metre aluminium yacht of the semi-displacement “Impero” line by Admiral Tecnomar – Yachting Hub of The Italian Sea Group. Recognised as the most silent yacht in the world, she reached the highest standard ever achieved in RINA classified yachts with reference to noise and vibration. The wheelhouse of Cacos V has sloped reverse windows to reduce reflections and water effects on the windows. The external bulwarks are almost vertical in order to increase space and visibility; windows, instead, are very wide to allow the natural light come in. In line with Admiral Tecnomar brand values, Cacos V has a very masculine character – reminiscent of a powerful military vessel.

Black Pearl is a 21st Century expedition yacht purpose-built yacht for her Owners. Chris Connell’s minimalist aesthetic approach allows for a classic and restrained interior, which adorns Black Pearl ‘almost like an Armani suit, tailored and detailed, neutral and calm.’ The interior was fine-tuned meticulously to maximise space and efficiency. These essential components included the feature stair handrail, joinery, wet zones, cabins, main helm, fly bridge and dining. Designed by Chris Connell, the light fittings and stair handrail are flagship sculptural elements of Black Pearl. The Melbourne-based company also selected the exterior colour, the orange boot stripe and the colour of the skull-and-crossbones logo design.

The stunning interior of M/Y Aurora was exclusively designed by the Fort Lauderdale-based Destry Darr Designs.
Inspired with a family atmosphere in mind the design brief for the Florida-based YachtNext was very meticulous.
Various exotic woods and carved details are integrated with the custom designed loose furniture. The interior features rich American cherry joinery with burl and walnut accents. In the staterooms, neutral fabric wall panels bring out the richness of the cherry wainscoting below.
Each stateroom on-board M/Y Finishline was designed to transform into additional sleep arrangements and includes a bed conversion into a playroom. The Owners’ cabin was to be fully equipped with a full 26’ beam walk in closet.
The design is simple and elegant yet contemporary in its styling. Destry Darr Designs were challenged each step along the way to take the design to the next level. The team combined classic and modern styles with clean lines to create a fresh new look.
The finest fabrics and materials adorn M/Y Finishline from top to bottom. Some of the materials used on the project consisted of: Custom silk carpets, designed pattern marble/glass stone foyers, imported Smokey quartz backlit bar, high gloss sapele in two-tone finish with Polish Nickel inlays, custom designer furniture.

S/Y Marie is a sleek and elegant sailing vessel, with an interior design that omits a luxury and classical aura. Opening the main salon to the lower salon was a fundamental move that radically transformed the living space. The traditional dark finish was replaced with buttery Anigré throughout the vessel. As a traditional sailing yacht, she is adorned with classical accessories each with their own story – German rapiers, English pistols, daggers, barometers, compasses and cannons galore. A library containing a leather-bound collection of 16th, 17th and 18th century classics. Period marine paintings, and 15th century-style suits of armour – all add an interesting twist to the contemporary furnishings aboard S/Y Marie. www.davideastoninc.com

Valdi Knapic AITAC Valdi Knapic Valdi Knapic
Designed by Valdi Knapic of AITAC, CM42 is an aggressive looking, 45-metre Superyacht characterised by powerful and decisive lines on first sight. Second glance reveals real CM42 character: sharp, sophisticated and impressive. The design is based on its character: sharp and inspired by wild sea life, sophisticated as its performance, impressive as comfort and joy of living on the sea.
Dune 75 is an innovative Superyacht concept designed by Belgiumbased Arman. The goal for this project was to develop a yacht with flat surfaces and more monolithic proportions, allowing the use of LED- embedded glass panels on a large portion, if not the entirety of the yacht’s superstructure.
CM42 is an audacious and bold expression that has managed to rise above the conventional design, without being trapped in the cliché of becoming just another theoretical exercise. The design is comfortable, spacious, simple but different, safe and stylish.
The monolithic nature of the design has resulted in a very elegant and dynamic design. It holds plenty of visual interest in terms of lines, proportions and surface transitions, while remaining subtle enough to serve as a backdrop for feature-rich digital content displayed on the superstructure’s canvas.

Ecomar 40 is a super-efficient performance yacht developed by Tony Castro.
Builder: Interior Designer: Exterior Designer: Naval Architect: Designer: Exterior Stylist: Interior Stylist:
This yacht follows the philosophy that less-is-more, simple-isbest. Ecomar 40 is designed to be very light but a well built yacht, comfortable, strong and meant for sea going passages.
Engineered to be the fastest Superyacht in the world, Fortissimo is currently being developed Ken Freivokh Design and Fincantieri Shipyard.
In order for powering predictions to be realistic a preliminary weight estimate was calculated. Initial investigations placed the vessel at approximately 80 tonnes displacement. This value allows the vessel to reach target speeds, which range from 30 to 35 Knots, depending on weight loading.
There is transparency between interior and exterior, interplay of levels, handsome triple height atriums and treatment of the yacht as a proper transportation machine communicating the structure internally and externally, as well as a direct relationship with the sea.

The design brief is to design a yacht that represents good-value–formoney, easy to service and very fast for its length.
The structural solution is the equivalent of a space frame structure which is much more efficient than a beam and post structure, and the hull and deck can be calculated simply as the skin of the yacht.

Designed by the Strasbourg-based Happy Design Studio France, this unique aircraft livery design and paint supervision was undertaken on a Bombardier Global 5000.
As one of the finest ACJ319 on the private market today, this KCJ concept is the essence of luxury aviation.
Consisting of five colours, each presents a fading effect from front to back. Only as a boarding passenger can the meticulous design be truly admired and appreciated as a piece of art.
With interior design from Comlux Creatives, it is one of the quietest Airbus Corporate Jets currently flying with cabin noise levels on average at 5dBSIL below the upper limit specified.
This project was a demanding challenge for Happy Design Studio France as there has never been a livery of this kind completed in such a short time frame.
The aircraft is licensed to carry up to nineteen passengers and can sleep eleven passengers very comfortably. There are two private compartments where passengers can truly spread out, relax and unwind in this five star resort like atmosphere.
The balance between the five colours and the perfect fading effect allows this impressive design to work incredibly well.
A home away from home concept – it is designed with an equal balance between business and leisure in mind.

This long-haul economy seat designed by B/E Aerospace aims to add glamour, prestige and luxury to intercontinental economy travel.
Seymourpowell have designed a concept economy seat for airline travel that has been inspired by different new materials and flexibility.
Remodelled to bespoke standards, the design sets a benchmark for comfort, living space and customisation. The typical flat seat back has been re-sculpted with a wraparound headrest shroud evocative of mid-century lines. Panels and armrests are fitted with fibre optic lighting and the patent-pending design gently illuminates the aisle floor. Adding an extra dimension to long-haul travel, key features include: business class inspired styling, cradle recline position, optimised knee space, fibre optic lighting, Italian leather and a branded decorative trim.
The concept named Morph has been designed to allow passengers choose the amount of space they pay for and to provide a better fit for more travellers. Adapting to the changing needs of each individual passenger, Morph is still a standard product and serves as an innovative alternative to standard seating arrangements on commercial aircraft today. Morph is a revolutionary product for travellers. By increasing comfort levels and adapting to people’s needs, it does not reduce the airlines capacity in any way.

Seventeen-foot high spherical pods divide the space into sections while maintaining open views. Each pod has a specific purpose such as library, restaurant, tea garden, screening room, kids playground, and they are organised in order of passenger priorities. The lounge features a series of bubble-like portals creating a second shell within the existing shell of the airport.

The Boeing 787-9 VIP concept is a unique and contemporary design designed by VIP Completions. The Owner’s suit and main salon features Swarovski crystals in the ceiling, various linen and cushion colours providing an immediate and simple change creating the desired ambience for the Owner.
The design of the seat structure was developed in cooperation between Lufthansa Technik and PIERREJEAN DESIGN STUDIO This is a concept for a carbon fibre based lightweight interior with innovative lighting, panelling, wall structures and rapid decompression features.
The salon captures the flow of water and provides an area removed of straight lines and immediately relaxing.
The black and white colour scheme derives from the carbon fibre material itself. The designer used black as the signature colour for carbon fibre and grey hues for the carpet, leather coverings and other materials.
The latter third of the aircraft features a full width bedroom, private study with make-up area and large en-suite bathroom with shower. Overall the private bedroom and en-suite are more than ample in size and complete the design concept.
There are four private multifunctional sleeping pods, which can be used for work or relaxation.

As a lightweight multi-functional space, the concept will become a baseline for future investigation of these designs. www.lufthansatechnik.com

Pegasus is an Airbus 330 Private Stateroom Design with rejuvenating modern touches. Developed by the Texas-based MBG International Design, Pegasus is styled with the business minded client in mind. This contemporary project with ombre lighting creates a space that is relaxing but is also a space to rejuvenate. The ombre lighting is a flagship feature of the Pegasus project; lighting is such an important part of any space, creating atmospheres people want to be in.
With inspiration taken from history, this luxury interior for a private Boeing 787 is a contemporary, but not an ultra-modern concept. Natural materials, especially wood, allow the cabin to come alive, framing key architectural elements, but being lightened by luxury fabrics and leather. The aircraft features an open plan lounge, dining area, two guest suites and master bedroom, bathroom and dressing suite. Timeless has been designed for just 19 guests, to create a truly luxury private interior.
The lighting techniques and calming modern design features create a space that is inviting, fun and enjoyable. These important elements makes uniquely designed spaces captivating, inspiring and invigorating.
The concept is exceptionally harmonious, highlighting comfort in the air, in order to take the audience on an aviation interior design journey.

The XION Private Jet concept, developed by Technicon Design (France) seeks to push the envelope in accepted thinking on what a private jet exterior and interior could look like in the immediate future. The brief of the project was simple, to challenge current thinking, and propose something a little different but not just a fantasy. It has to be credible and relevant, yet provoke discussion. The interior user experience is greatly enhanced by directly engaging the passengers with the environment outside, giving an unhindered panoramic view. Also the screens can display limitless possibilities of interior themes and atmospheres. See a film of this concept here: https://vimeo.com/78458486

Aircraft Family Fleet for Brabus Private Aviation
IXION Private Jet Concept
Submitted by: Happy Design Studio France
Designer: Gareth Davies
Exterior Designer: Didier Wolff, Happy Design Studio France
The IXION Private Jet developed by Technicon Design (France) provides a glimpse of the immediate future in private aviation.
The Aircraft Family Fleet for Brabus Aviation concept was developed with Brabus, the German luxury car manufacturer and Happy Design Studio France. To ensure the Brabus spirit was embodied in the design inspiration was taken from the Brabus factory in Bottrop, Germany. Expensive materials such as yachting wood and carbon fibre provides a fresh and modern aura to the interior. The red lines on the aircraft’s engines outline the iconic Brabus signature. Red is an essential colour for Brabus car design and all security markings onto the aircraft are also painted red, as were details along the fuselage giving the livery a high-tech design. www.happydesign.net

The brief of the project was to challenge current thinking and propose something a little different but not just a fantasy. It has to be credible and relevant, yet provoke discussion. The intriguing idea of removing the windows from the cabin is compensated by using existing or very near future flexible screen technology to display the exterior environment on the inside surfaces of the cabin via external cameras. This presents new possibilities for the exterior design, being free of windows allows for a svelte and elegant aesthetic treatment. See a film of this concept here: https://vimeo.com/78458486
