function of the space. The sofa is at the bottom of the bed, which has four neo-classical pillars isolating it and giving it a sense of privacy from the rest of the space.
Luxification is about the evolution of luxury in the
design process. The SWATH apartments do this through the use of technology for gold membership clients to have a greater sense of intimacy and privacy. In order to enhance the luxury for the silver membership clients, the following amenities were included to enhance the user experience of the interior even further: guest room; cinema; spa room; sundeck hot tub; sundeck bar.
3. This DISCUSSION
Innovation to develop a new maritime leisure sector between cruising and superyacht
design project has engaged in Design-Driven charter for the
American market, having identified the significant gap in the price difference between the two. The change in design meaning
engagement in emotional
was implemented through an design, which involved
researching American luxury culture resulting in the identification of conspicuous consumption as a statement of achievement often balanced by philanthropy. The Art Deco and Streamline Moderne design language of the golden age of the superliner combined American design heritage of the modernist age. The proposed change in design meaning represents an evolution of the private membership membership
club into an elite floating private

enhancing the design meaning and potentially resulting in a technological epiphany. The SWATH apartments have the sense of freedom associated with a superyacht, fully serviced by a crew with comparable activities and panoramic views from all decks. Inspired by the suites of the Normandie, they even have a baby grand piano. The innovation of
dockwise technology defining the and an energy
efficient air pumping system for debilging enables these SWATH apartments to float off into the sunset. The use of a magnetic docking systems allows them to seemlessly integrate back into the mothership, where they have additional rooms in their docking station, to enhance the sense of luxury when docked.
On cruise ships, HVAC is a significant consumer of energy. Through the use of passive design technology, namely Phase Change Material integrated within the structure of the ship, the HVAC load has to be reduced. Thereby increasing the green luxury aspects of the design. In terms of the conspicuous consumption aspects of American luxury the vessel as an exclusive floating private members club exceeds the facilities of a charter
