Florida based architects Lazzara Ombres Architects have released the first look of their new 24.3-metre Oasis project. The yacht is an adaptation of a traditional catamaran hull - still with under carriage clearances - and boasts useable interior and exterior areas similar to that of an average 40-metre tri-deck monohull.
