Heesen Family Interior
Heesen Yachts announces that Bannenberg & Rowell have been chosen to create the interior design for the new 47m yacht of Mr and Mrs Heesen, who appointed the designer because they particularly appreciate the richness and variety of materials they typically use, and the way that they are brought together in an eclectic and pleasantly integrated atmosphere.
The design process started in the guest accommodation on the lower deck, with its guiding inspiration coming from diverse sources, including 20th Century industrial Dutch design, optical geometric studies, and shapes inspired by industrial components. These elements will come together to create a dynamic interior concept that, at the same time, should be comfortable, approachable and inviting.
The general arrangement of the yacht, by Omega Architects, has positioned the owner’s suite on the upper deck in view of the fact that this area, with some distance from the lower deck guest cabins, will offer the owners more privacy during periods when their numerous grandchildren are on board. To the benefit of the younger members of the family, the forward area of the main deck that is usually dedicated to the master stateroom has been transformed into a media and games room. The yacht will be a 47m full-displacement, ocean going vessel.
