Trans RINA, Vol 155, Part C1, Intl J Marine Design, Jan -Jun 2013
advantageous if you want to use the yacht for charter activities as they tend to be more sympathetic to less mobile individuals. Furthermore the adjacent hulls allow for the separation of passengers and therefore increased privacy for the occupants. This has been facilitated by the use of ‘Earth wool acoustic slabs’ between the galley and crew quarters of the master suites to ensure unbridled acoustic segregation but also insulation. Additionally the lobby between each pair of VIP suites also provides a similar effect and doubles up as the storage area for shoes and outdoor clothing similar to that of cloak room.
As already mentioned in this design review, heat gain sources are parasitic in terms of energy consumption as they attribute to the thermal load it is for this reason that particular attention has been placed on high energy consuming applications as they are likely to attribute to the internal thermal environment. Astonishingly it is the HVAC system which constitutes to a large amount of wasted heat into the interior followed by lighting and then galley equipment. In order to resolve wasted heat energy leaking into the interior most electrical devices have been encased and located near if not directly underneath exhaust valves to ensure that the interior is purged of any additional heat rapidly, as demonstrated in Figure 11. which shows the placement of media and computer systems tightly integrated into storage carcasses which are contain exhaust vents to prevent the mitigation of wasted heat and un-wanted heat into the occupied space. Similarly this is also the justification for having the galley below deck as this provides a degree of thermal
isolation and does not permit INTERIOR DESIGN the flow of hot
warm air from the galley into the rest of the ship. 8.
The interior design was inspired by the Hospitality Design expo in Las Vegas 2011, from which many of the colour schemes and interior design ideas originated. The interior of Logos was also inspired by the works of Kelly Hoppen, who takes advantage of natural materials and blends tactful & visual aesthetics to merge the natural environment within the home. saw her design style the perfect companion for a sustainably inspired luxury yacht. The most important element of interior design
from yacht designers prospective is to fulfil the perception of luxury whilst being mindful of both the cost and weight of construction. This seems to be enacted by many of the exhibits at the Design expo but also mirrored by the principles of Kelly Hoppen, who seemed to be influenced by the vision that less is more. White Linen, wenge wood, beach stone and hessian were the base materials selected for this project based on their reference to the natural environment. They provide the colour pallet
from which the other colours were
processed, using the swatch editor created Adobe Kuler. This a free online application which helps to create swatches which reflect and contrast against the pre- defined base colours.
Taupe became the primary colour within the design and produced an interior that provided a smart corporate feel which was softened by hints of vibrant green and natural linen blended with natural vegetation, bamboo shutters and natural light which is facilitated by the yachts natural lighting system, creating an environment perfect
for
entertaining but also holding conferences and meetings extending the functionality of the vessel beyond that of luxury & indulgence, see figures 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.
Note that despite an effective natural lighting system an auxiliary LED lighting
system was extensively
introduced into the VIP and master suites. Three different lighting systems were to provide a ground lighting scheme a middle lighting scheme and a down-light scheme. Supported by the natural lighting plan a three tier lighting scheme not only allowed for transitional lighting throughout the occupant
day, but also permits the to change the ambient mood of the room depending on their preference.
Overall the interior design is sympathetic towards natural lighting and storage which is evidenced by the ample storage facilities in the VIP and master suites. The clean lines and strong dark wood veneers are visually striking and bold but are softened by the introduction of soft tactile materials that make subtle references to the natural environment encompassing the environmental message that this yacht embodies.
