Design Process

INITIAL DESIGN CONCEPTS (3D SKETCHES/PROFILE SKETCHES)

It all starts with a pen and paper. Concept sketches are generated freely without any other restrictions. Influences are absorbed from a variety of products, often not yachts. This loose approach at the start encourages creativity where original new ideas/shapes can be created and give the design a direction in which to follow.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Good design is about form and function working as one entity. Here the form, proportion and balance of the exterior are refined on the GA and through rendered sketches.

3D DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

At this stage of the process the 2d drawings are put into a 3d programme where a lot of time is spent in developing the form. We look at the yacht as a functional sculpture A lot of effort is spent on refining the form and studying the way the light falls on the surfaces.

DESIGN SOLID MODEL

A solid model is made as part of the design process.This is not a finished model but a form analysis model.
