We were given the project of designing the interior of the 100’ Nordhavn Serenity at the onset of the yacht’s conceptualization, when the builder referred the owner to our firm.  As designers we were pleased to have the confidence of the builder, meet such an endearing owner, and design the interior for this brand-new yacht. We began, as we do with most designs, by communicating with the owner to get an idea of his expectations and design preferences. Above all, this owner was the quintessential family man. He made it very clear to our team that he wanted the yacht to be a haven for family; he wanted large spaces for them to enjoy time together comfortably. After visiting the owner’s home and discussing his overall wishes for the design, it was clear he appreciates modern, clean lines; rich deep grained woods contrasted with light accents, luxurious, spa-like finishes, and splashes of color.  He wished for a yacht that was unique and differentiated, and he gave us the creative license to bring his vision for Serenity to fruition.
