etc. usually solved in conjunction with structural engineers;
Compliance with regulations, such as escape routes, etc.
H65 can be defined as being close to ‘oriental’ – this is much West-influenced style representing westerners
what think about Asian style; not necessarily
authentic Asian style (fig.9). General specifics of Asian style:
Colour - usually wide mix of natural tones with
dominant orange, red or blue thus adding ‘exotic look’;
Textures - combination of natural materials – wood, fabric, paper, metals, etc.;
Furniture – low to multipurpose;
ground, minimalist and
Accessories and patterns – Asian motifs used throughout in decorations;
Windows – large with simple treatment; Lighting – important sculptural lighting;
element of décor including
Wind, water, fire and earth widely used as natural elements (fig.8f, g);
Feng Shui layout principles that describe ‘art of placement’.
The relationships among the elements established by these patterns ultimately determine the visual qualities and functional fitness of an interior space and influence how we perceive and use it (fig.8). Made by native Asian designers, the result is quite interesting and representative.
Interesting feature of H65 is cabins have four elements theme: every cabin has been individually styled. This creates memorable distinction of the yacht though the task of interior design team was much more complicated. Main site of passengers underway is spacious flybridge finished to luxury standards and duplication some of main saloon facilities. Flybridge
provides excellent
airflow to together with shade and panoramic view of the sea (fig.8b, c).
In AMD’s office practice, interior design for yachts usually includes:
Planning and layout of interior and outdoor spaces within boat;
Verification of ergonomics on 2D, 3D models and mock-ups.
Styling with selection of finishing and accessories with samples and purchase lists;
As many of furniture elements are built-in, detailed design of furniture elements is a must;
Design of lighting, ventilation and air-conditioning in cooperation with engineering team;
Ergonomics of boat is often customised due to
limitations of space and complicated shapes [1]; this is applicable to narrow catamaran
demihulls. In this
respect, mock-ups are essential as they allow to verify the layouts especially on smaller boats. Boat interior can only 70-80% be finalised on the computer. Often 2” matters and layouts can be significantly improved with use of mock-ups. Other boat related ergonomic items are direction of toilet bowls, visibility from saloon required for
navigation, protection, etc.
In addition to builder and customer, the interior design team worked with customer’s representatives and design consultants
(fig.7). During construction,
designer is also in contact with contractors and suppliers. This assumes interaction of parties and often
complications in decision making process. Thus, all the members of the design and construction team should strive to maintain an atmosphere of communication, cooperation and mutual respect.

assisted concept’ (fig.11). Using solar panels for housing loads (including limited use of air-conditioning) requires big battery banks; so big battery compartments with ventilation are provided. Advanced control of electrical consumption is achieved by use of integrated C-Zone system allowing full management of every consumer from two locations (flybridge and main steering station in saloon).
