We aim to give our clients the freshest and most creative work around. We underpin this with a well-organised office, armed with tried and trusted systems for drawing delivery, specifying and budgetary control. We don't forget that nobody actually needs a yacht and the process needs to bring them pleasure.
We are there for our clients throughout the journey of creating their new yacht design meetings; visits to shipyards; checking on suppliers and subcontractors. Most clients want us to continue to be involved even after delivery. So when there's a need for something new, or something to replace, we'll take care of that too.
How We Do It
Step 1:
The creative process is compromised if time is compressed. So it's best if we are involved in a project from the earliest stage. We will work with our clients to space plan for the best results - both ergonomically and architecturally. We will develop initial ideas for exterior styling too.
We will discuss these thoroughly with our clients, listening to what they want, giving them our opinion, and refining our proposals as necessary.
Step 2:
Working closely with our clients, we will develop our concepts into visuals, renderings and sample boards. More often than not, we'll get it right first time but, if not, we will review and rework until the clients are happy.
Sometimes, these will be hand drawings. Other times, computer based renderings are better for showing the clients our idea. We're flexible about how we work.
Step 3: Once a design concept has been agreed, we will begin work on the comprehensive drawing packages that are needed by the shipyards. Our drawings are noted for their clarity and details, as are our design specification documents.
An important part of our role is to work closely with the interior subcontractor with a constant flow of drawings being exchanged, reviewed and amended where necessary.
Step 4:
Throughout the design process, we will keep the client fully updated with detailed and transparent budget schedules. If asked (and we positively want to be), we will take care of designing and supplying everything needed for the yacht to be delivered to its new Owner. Logos, uniforms, stationary, flip-flops.
And we will set it all up for launch day - taking particular care to make sure that trays with roses and champagne bottles are not positioned on beds at 45 degrees.
