Interior Engineering

The comfort of living

 

Whether we are detailing a compact interior or a grandiose one, the methodology we apply is the same. We begin by thoroughly studying the design, we refine and optimize it, ensuring feasibility and seamless integration with the boat’s overall construction. Our goal is to make an interior buildable, but above all, we strive to preserve the essence of the original concept, the spark of emotion that first gave the project its identity. Our interior packages are tailored to meet the specific requirements of each project and include:

 

• CNC cutting files
• Solid wood profiles drawing
• Workshop production and assembly plans
• Fully detailed 3D models
• Materials & weight reports
• The traditional option: general set-up and construction drawings plus fully detailed cabin drawings
• When there is no interior design, we make the design ourselves: General Arrangement, styling and materials proposal, visuals.

 

The real advantage lies in the parallel production-ready output. All interior components can be fabricated simultaneously with the yacht’s construction. It means that as soon as the hull is completed and insulation applied, the interior assembly can begin immediately, aligned with the installation of onboard systems and electrical components. It’s a highly coordinated process that ensures efficiency without compromising on precision or design integrity.

Fully detailed 3D model

 

The interior layout is meticulously constructed in 3D, offering a clear, spatial understanding of the vessel’s internal configuration, cabin arrangements and equipment placement. Depending on the project’s requirements, this can range from a basic volumetric model that illustrates space distribution, to a fully detailed 3D model where every element is detailed to its exact final form, dimension, and location.

Special attention is given to harmonizing the interior with the yacht’s structural framework—ensuring not only aesthetic and functional cohesion, but also optimized accessibility for onboard systems and technical installations. This level of precision is achieved starting from either a General Arrangement drawing, or on a preliminary 3D basic design setup, correlated with project’s technical specifications.

All the component are developed as independent units, enabling clarity and modular coordination throughout the design and production process. Ultimately, every element is comprehensively coded -completed with naming conventions, material definitions, and surface finish annotations – ensuring traceability, accuracy, and a seamless transition to manufacturing.

CNC files – expansion and nesting

 

Floors, ceilings, linings, and furniture panels, they are all carefully nested into material sheets, fully optimized for CNC milling. Each element is derived from flat-pattern expansions of the original 3D components, carrying with them all the critical metadata: part name, material type, thickness, surface finish, and grain direction. These digital templates, beyond the geometry, contain layered instructions for secondary operations such as partial cuts, exact drill points, and post-processing marks, all designed to guide the fabrication process with clarity and precision.

This method of working with CNC-ready kits transforms the whole built. It streamlines production in a way that feels both efficient and intelligent reducing material waste and fabrication time. Labor demands are eased, errors are minimized, and the entire process becomes more intuitive and responsive – the workshop becomes a place of smooth execution.

At the heart of this workflow is something uniquely ours: a suite of custom-built plug-ins, developed in-house and tuned specifically for the way we work.

Workshop drawings

 

Our detailed 2D workshop drawings serve as a clear and comprehensive guide for bringing each interior element to life. From CNC-milled components to handcrafted solid wood profiles, every part is accounted for, with all the necessary information to assemble them into precise, beautifully finished pieces.

We go beyond basic instructions, post-CNC operations such as partial cuts and drilling are carefully marked, hardware selections are clearly indicated, and every detail of joinery and furniture assembly is thoughtfully laid out. Whether it’s cabinets, beds and sofas, bulkheads and wall panels, cabin doors, floors, linings, windows, or ceiling structures, each item is supported by precise documentation.

These drawings tell the story of how each piece fits into the whole, how they come together, as part of a unified interior, fully prepared for installation on board.

To honor the craft of traditional woodworking, solid wood profiles are given their own dedicated and comprehensive drawings, ensuring their role in the design is treated with the same level of care and respect.

General construction and cabin drawings

 

Sometimes, all it takes is a well-executed layout drawing with longitudinal and cross-sectional views, complete with thoroughly detailed specifications, to effectively guide the entire boat interior manufacturing process. This foundational drawing is where both styling and construction elements are clearly defined, including choices of material types, thicknesses and surface finishes. The selection of hardware is also incorporated.

For a deeper level of insight into the ergonomics and construction of specific interior areas, dedicated cabin drawings enter the stage. They provide an added layer of clarity through detailed views and cross-sections that showcase wall elevations, furniture layouts, and ceiling structures, all items as ready for the final production.

General Arrangement and interior design

 

Designing the interior of a boat is a journey that can begin in many ways. Sometimes, it starts with a detailed General Arrangement from a naval architect. Other times, it’s a conceptual spark from a design studio, or even a rough sketch shared by the shipyard or project developer. Whatever form it takes, be it classic 2D sketch or an early-stage 3D model, we take that initial vision and shape it into something far more refined, more resolved, and ultimately more compelling.

And when no such starting point exists, we are just as comfortable laying the foundation ourselves, developing the General Arrangement, building the 3D framework, or crafting a well-defined interior concept in close collaboration with the yard or the client’s team.

In every case, our approach is rooted in deep respect for the client’s aspirations. We balance aesthetics with purpose, form with function, beauty with ergonomics, ensuring that every space we design not only looks exceptional but lives beautifully on the water.
