A PEACEFUL DESIGN FOR LUXURIOUS ON-WATER LIVING

LUXURY YACHT DESIGN THE LILLIUM BY BILGIN YACHTS
The 48-meter Lilium is a prime example of luxury yachts design and Turkish Craftsmanship. The yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests in her 5-cabin layout and features many interior and exterior jacuzzi and is surrounded by U-shape sunbeds. The interiors were curated to bring a sense of peace to the yacht, as described by İsmail Şengün as “peaceful brightness”. The color palette is mostly made of whites, with a few black touches and golden details. Brass was used throughout the yacht, as in the cabins’ lighting, to create a warm atmosphere. The lighting is one of the most important elements of the yacht, which is described as “luminous”. And while natural lighting brightens the interiors, the designers selected Tycho wall lamp by LUXXU for the cabins, a lighting fixture that takes yacht design to another level.
Lilium, named after the beautiful white flower, is a promising yacht - a promise of sunny and happy on-water living. Designed by Unique Yacht Design on the exterior and manicured on the inside by H2 Yacht Design and Bilgin Yacht Design.

SUPERYACHTS ARE GETTING GREENER SUSTAINABILITY IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST TRENDS Superyachts of the future: bigger and greener. Sustainability has become a hot topic in the yachting world, with many superyachts developing innovative solutions to help reduce their environmental footprint. Savannah, an 84m Feadship, was billed as the first hybrid superyacht with a single-engine, three generators and a combined total of approximately one megawatt-worth of batteries. Black Pearl, the 107m sailing yacht from Oceanco, meanwhile, uses special shaft generators which create free electricity by allowing the propellers to turn when the yacht is under sail. Fuel cells are also gaining momentum, with Italian shipyard VSY developing a concept powered by hydrogen fuel technology, together with renowned designer Espen Oeino, Siemens and Lloyds Register.

dialogue between them and our designers as it means that we are able to understand their dreams in their entirety.” The team shares a passion for delivering designs imbued with the Winch ethos for beauty, uniqueness and perfect proportion. The work created by the Studio over the last 33 years speaks for itself and current projects continue to push boundaries and expectations of design. They’ve also managed to create some relevant relationships with many of their suppliers, each of them being a master in their own craft. Craftsmanship, for that matter, is a matter that the team gives a great amount of emphasis to, seen as they invest in it for the final results. When it comes to trends in the yachting world, Jim points to the increasing popularity that explorer yachts are gaining throughout this period. According to him, these vessels have features such as robust hulls, higher crew capacity and superior storage space, alongside with the fact that are vessels equipped with the tech, durability and propulsion power which allows the owner, guests and crew to enjoy travels across a variety of extreme environments. As a matter of fact Winch Design has been working on three projects directed toward that sense, seen as these yachts are taking over many sea lovers. “Clients are expecting a flow and consistency between their spaces on land and at sea and want their yachts to be multi-functional and capable of functioning in the same way as a home on land. Some clients are choosing to spend extended periods of time on board, some are even choosing to live permanently on board. “
When it comes to some possible changes in the yachting industry, Jim Dixon predicts a dramatic change in the superyacht industry in this upcoming decade. There are a series of rules which are being applied to help the the move towards carbon neutral methods of propulsion, in order to help control the levels of pollution in several areas at risk. He predicts a huge increase in Hydrogen fuel Powered Yachts, a type of vessel which will be protected from loss of value and produce no harmful emissions, as well as a resurgence of interest in sailing yachts, which are boats that can be very luxurious, and also help on the ecological matter. In Norway, for that matter, certain fjords have banned combustion fuelled liners and yachts from entering in a bid with the goal of eradicating the high levels of pollution detrimental for the local environment. Jim manifests a hope that the yachting community will start to turn to discussions regarding ecological and sustainable matters through which the boating industry can help protect the environment.
