Blade series “We were recently invited by the team at McMullen & Wing to propose a design for a new range of motor yachts that would combine our style with their identity and core strengths. Firstly I needed to understand McMullen & Wing legacy and market perception.

POOL DECK This area is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. This large, elevated deck gives the impression of being on a much larger yacht.

SALON The innovative split level transition between pool deck and salon is subtle enough to retain connection between inside and outside whilst providing a sense of both drama and intimacy to this space.

The bow line is purposely almost vertical to give it a sense of strength and indestructability, a strong visual contrast to...
