Designers handpicked in the bathrooms’ Italian marble, which was then honeycombed to keep the weight at a minimum. It complements specially stitched Gail Warwick bed linen, cleverly designed as a duvet without a top sheet. Craftsmen sewed in situ the hand-block printed linen covering the headboards. Much effort went into getting the texture and movement of the wood to be just right, with the floorboards running in the same direction as the wood grain in the paneling. The limed-oak paneling was another major feat. Royal Huisman’s partner, Yachtglass, created for this unique deckhouse the largest single glass pieces it ever crafted.Īll details were equally thought out. Far forward is the unusual salon/relaxation/dining salon with a curved panoramic one-way glass window carefully executed to meet the deck. The aft cockpit is as low as they go, clean with a pop-up table, reading lights and retractable awning, so there is nothing to arrest the eye in terms of flow. In the guest cabins, the door handles are lower than normal to give the illusion of more ceiling height. Todhunter Earle says there are five heights, which meant keeping a close eye on the horizontal levels to ensure, for instance, that someone seated on the back of the salon sofa can talk easily to someone sitting on the window seat. This had implications on the interior, where height and perspective were an important consideration. Starting from that point, Redman and Dubois worked closely to come up with lines that would keep the superstructure as low and lean as possible, resulting in Twizzle’s snazzy and distinctive profile.
The bridge, which is located on the mezzanine level, is truly pivotal to the whole flow of the boat. Bentley and Bugatti-designed race cars of the 1920s inspired the design, in a daring mix of contemporary and classic. The highly automated high-tech system with digital displays fit in dual helms constructed of teak with a carbon-fiber veneer built in New Zealand. The result is a stunning RWD-designed glass bridge, akin to that of a space ship, which controls all functions with a touch of a button. It was designed and executed without a hinge, a catch, a cable or hydraulic cylinder visible.Īlso key to the overall design was an integrated bridge system. This platform is one of the many innovations on board. The owners very much wanted inside/outside easy and versatile living with clutter-free decks and a swim platform or beach for the tender and divers.
