Netherlands – Reported by Elite Traveler, the Private Jet Lifestyle Magazine
Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that Bannenberg & Rowell have been
chosen to create a strikingly different style of interior decoration
for the new yacht of Mr. and Mrs. Heesen, a 47-metre full-displacement,
ocean going vessel. Mr. and Mrs. Heesen appointed Bannenberg & Rowell
for the task because they particularly appreciate the richness and
variety of materials typically used in this company’s interior designs,
and the way that they are brought together to create an eclectic and
pleasingly 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 such as formers
and frames. These elements will come together to create a dynamic
interior concept that, at the same time, is comfortable, approachable
and inviting.
The general arrangement of the yacht, by Omega Architects, has
positioned the Owner¹s suite on the upper deck in view of the fact that
this area, more remote from the lower deck guest cabins, will offer the
owners more privacy and calm 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.
