A longtime client requested a design for the equipment on his new boat. The assignment included modifying some of the model’s built-in features. Mainly, the purpose was to soften sharp angles on walls, tables, beds and other pieces of furniture to achieve friendlier curved lines. Other shapes were simplified, and finishes redefined so as to integrate esthetic goals with nautical codes. For Architect Muradas ? as the son of this particular seaman ? it meant working within familiar territory.

As a signature trademark of the Studio, the same materials were carefully selected to integrate all the spaces and create visual purity. All coverings, wood, lighting and other details were chosen based on beauty and specific color palettes. Water-resistant carpeting was placed both externally as well as inside the boat, matching the tone of wall linings and leather upholstery in every spot, in their respective opaque versions and natural colors. Oak polished in a light tone was the choice for all inner furnishing within the lounge area, dining room and main cabin. Chalk-colored, laminated finishes were used for bathrooms and the kitchen. Hunter Douglas metallic blinds, or roller blinds, depending on the case, were installed. Even though most of the furniture is fixed, several special mobile pieces were utilized, such as the table and cockpit chairs and a stool by designer Serge Rodrigues, all from Acento Muradas. Bed and bath linen are from Ramos Generales.

Decks and landing docks were made out of teak wood, the same wood found in all exterior furniture, purchased in Coin Vert, Punta del Este. Recurring material in both open spaces and interiors, soft lines and a general chromatic match, exude a sense of calm which replicates the serenity of water.
