When installing granite slabs on a boat a level could not be used. This requires a constant hands-on approach to the project. Lamps must be bolted into place and chandeliers must be designed so they will not shatter themselves at sea. A silicone adhesive is used to secure sculptures, rubber feet provide surface tension for heavy and low objects. Whether you are installing marble, draperies, or lighting fixtures, a consultant dialogue with suppliers and installers is critical.
Lighting is another critical element of yacht design.
It has to meet both functional and aesthetic needs. There has to be enough light to read by and at the same time to highlight art and decor. Placed under counter, on soffits and under bed platforms, low voltage lighting also provides ambience. Too often overlooked, it is the window treatments, artwork and accessories that complete a home or yacht and give it that completed polished look. Each element must relate to each other in a cohesive manner.
