A NEW SLICE OF LIFE

 

Feadship’s newest yacht, Slice, is a revolutionary 85-meter yacht that tackles one of the most prominent owner grievances in yacht design: long hallways, dark interiors, and stacked living spaces. Engineered with a glass strip running entirely from bow to stern, allowing natural light to filter in through multiple decks, Slice “turns the inside out and the outside in,” said Studio De Voogt Lead Designer Chris Bottoms and Head of Design Tanno Weeda. Feadship premiered this game-changing yacht at the opening of the 2022 Monaco Yacht Show.

Instead of offering a few new features or showcasing a single new technology, Feadship set out to completely reimagine a yacht from the inside out. In simplest terms, the designers sliced their CAD model right down the centerline and pushed the halves apart to make room for a strip of glass running from bow to stern. It is not glass alone, but glass overlaying a structural framework that lets natural light filter through multiple decks. It is a far more challenging plan than a series of skylights; it redefines the relationship between spaces throughout the yacht’s interior.
