OMEGA ARCHITECTS_30-METRE
[ WIP ]
O
mega Architects’s latest 30-metre delivers a winning combination of clean, sporty lines, a nearvertical bow and a sense of smooth sleekness. Developed for an Asian owner enamoured of the studio’s Storm Yachts series, the emphasis is on protecting occupants from the muggy Asian climate whilst still treating them to 360° panoramic views, thanks to low bulwarks and transparent fashion plates, particularly aft. On main deck, for instance, sliding panels convert the aft indoor dining area to al fresco when necessary. Even then, the remainder of the yacht remains air-conditioned as there are additional doors separating off the lounge section. The same principle is applied on the sundeck. The interior is a hymn to arts and crafts with carved wooden panelling for the main doors and focal points. Overall though, the ambience is one of Asian calm and serenity. A top speed of 25 knots and a 1000Nm range at 14 knots make Frank Laupman’s new beauty ideal for exploring the endless islands of Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines too. www.omega-architects.com
