A key feature of this is her main deck, which includes a living Ficus Nitida tree which spans approximately 16 square-metres and rises through two decks. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390502/image/large-16f8cc8ffe6e6a4aa3ccf0150a4a2c1e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390502">This feature was selected before the first structural block was assembled, and the entire yacht grew around it. The tree was specifically selected based on precise botanical and dimensional criteria, with two lateral skylights at floor level allowing for natural light downward to nourish growth.‘’Our collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12396" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virtuosity73.0m (239'6&quot;)Sanlorenzo2026">Virtuosity</a> proposes a fundamentally new vision for life at sea‘’ added Paolo Ferrari of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8778" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Paolo Ferrari (Company)">Studio Paolo Ferrari</a>. “Interior architecture and custom furnishings were developed in parallel with the ship itself, while at its centre, a living tree rises through a vertical opening.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390500/image/large-f3fdfbc13219c2d808dedb704ceaf3e1.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390500">The main deck of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12396" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virtuosity73.0m (239'6&quot;)Sanlorenzo2026">Virtuosity</a> also includes a large pool, which leads directly to her main saloon.
