“Light is the first material of architecture.” Think of a superyacht interior as a moving apartment wrapped in glass and water. Every surface has a job. Every line has to handle motion, salt, and sunlight. The best ones feel calm, almost weightless, even while hiding an insane amount of engineering. When you look at them … Read more
