Hospitality Design - December 2024 - 93

brought to life by Meyer Werſt in Germany, the
1,050-foot vessel is composed of 22 suites and
133 residences imagined by Francesca Muzio,
lead interior designer of Camerano, Italy-based
FM Architett ura. Her biophilic-inspired design
" prioritizes the human relationship with nature
as an integral part of our health, " she says. Here,
the lobby air garden highlights an aerial staircase
that connects the decks, while a gourmet market
dubbed the herb garden, will include local
specialties depending upon where the yacht is
moored on a particular day. A bi-level Chenot
spa, which links to the lobby by way of a dramatic
fountain, serves as the water garden.
Technically, the Rossinavi Seawolf X isn't
A rendering of Ulyssia, a yacht
community planned for late 2028
a superyacht, but the newly built 140-foot
catamaran from the Italian yacht builder with
interiors from Meyer Davis is every bit as swank.
To give guests who charter Seawolf X a one-of-akind
experience, the New York-based fi rm aimed
to " create a yacht that exudes elegance while
staying committ ed to sustainability, " says Nancy
Santorelli, associate principal and director at
Meyer Davis.
Inspired by Blue Technology, which powers
the yacht with hybrid-electric systems and
solar panels, " we focused on selecting materials
and forms that refl ect this ethos, " she adds.
Wirebrushed wood paneling and woven raffi a
wallcoverings, for instance, " establish a tactile
connection to the natural world. The mood was
about fi nding that balance-a space that feels
luxurious yet grounded, blending Rossinavi's
cutt ing-edge innovation with our design
philosophy of honest materiality. "
A Scandinavian sensibility permeates
Neutral tones evoke quiet luxury in a
Ulyssia penthouse, shown in a rendering
the Seawolf X. " The primary stateroom is an
exceptional space, with proportions more akin to
a luxurious home, allowing for the inclusion of
bespoke furnishings like the headboard that acts
as a statement piece, " says Meyer Davis cofounder
Gray Davis. The gathering space at the bow of
the yacht is another standout. " Its positioning
at the front rather than the back lets guests look
outward instead of inward toward the docks and
ports, " he adds. " This design choice off ers a sense
of privacy and an uninterrupted connection to the
water-an uncommon element in yacht design
that enhances the experience at sea. "
For Will Meyer, cofounder of Meyer Davis,
The observation room on Evrima, the inaugural
vessel in the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
yachts present a distinctive challenge given their
" limited space and dynamic environment, and
it was exciting to rethink how scale and fl ow
could be adapted to enhance both functionality
and beauty. " Collaborating with Rossinavi and
the naval architects, " allowed us to push creative
boundaries, " he says. " It was a rare opportunity
to merge our expertise into a design language
perfectly tailored for the open sea. " hd
