Sanlorenzo SL 118
Over the years, creating a well recognizable style, shipyard Sanlorenzo always with maximum attention refers specifically to the lineup planing hull made of fiberglass. Descent is the new flagship turned into a large-scale high-level event, and the presentation of the SL 118 is no exception.
The birth of the project SL 118 was based on the need for a new round of modernization gliding line shipyard Sanlorenzo. The main influence on the development of the company’s customers had a series that needed a body with large volumes and expanding the list of technical innovations.
The whole range of design work was done by the studio Francesco Paszkowki Design – long-term partner and creator of the modern image of the majority of yachts Sanlorenzo. Arhitektu Mr. housing based on functionality and simplicity, allows us to offer an abundance of interior space and a well-balanced profile. However, the new SL 118 fully fit in a style that adheres to the shipyard for a long time – quite sharp transitions between the levels of the superstructure, wide feed, large outdoor sandek and elements of automotive design. Balance factor became large windows of the cabin, the owner of the apartment, as well as windbreaks on plexiglass sandeke.
With an enviable area with teak, sandek comfortable enough and as a natural solarium, and as a dance floor, and as a great area for dinner because it offers a large table for at least 10 guests. Under the protection of the radar arch permanently equipped kitchenette with built-in fridge, electric cooker, sink and icemaker.
The front of the sandeka planned to install an external control station. Speed architecture superstructure allowed architects to select an intermediate level between the bridge and main deck sandekom. To characterize the design of the bridge, only one term – high-tech. Leather chair near the wheel is mounted on a telescopic steel support and regulated in any direction. Each of the four large displays mounted in a separate composite panel that creates a very futuristic picture, complete with navigation angle to starboard – usually only found on commercial airliners.
Bridge is connected with passages area of the crew on the lower deck. Effectively using all available space, crew cabins are equipped with a walk to the kitchen block, eye-catching monolithic facades and dumbwaiter.
Designer style studio Paszkowki Design always focused on minimalism and an abundance of rectangular shapes, smooth relaxed décor and contrasting transitions. Nara-not with wood, leather and fabrics in the collection of materials inevitably present polished steel and glass. So, stairs to sandek largely made of glass. The main technical innovation of the show was the exclusive technology of electric drives, automatically raises the window in the cabin, not just presenting a panorama, but full penetration of fresh air and natural light.
Even more complex electrohydraulic complex designed for the owner’s suite at the front of the main deck. Immediately on both sides of the body of the board can be opened in two directions: down to form an overhanging terraces above the water and up the principle of “gull-wing”, which creates a canopy with transparent center. Similar designs are not new, but the presence of two terraces is a rare example. The second element of uniqueness can be called demarcation of areas in the apartment through sliding doors from the double tempered glass. This decision was made to separate the bedroom from the work area / lounge, but while preserving full board light transmission windows.
If the idea of using private apartments transparent partitions looks interesting design variation, the implementation of this approach on the lower deck completely surprised. Two VIP-cabins are located opposite each other and are also designed with glass walls framed in polished stainless steel. When you open the blinds completely light easily penetrates through the large windows in the sides. Two more guest cabins due to the nature of the deck layout has such extravagant features, but not inferior to the level of comfort and finishing materials. The yacht is adapted for installation of modern entertainment systems and automation control technology. Like the style of the interior, these factors will depend on the preferences of the owner.
In the garage compartment in the stern, where engineers and mechanics can penetrate the sealed septum in the engine room, spacious enough to store a 5-meter tender, scooters, diving equipment, underwater towing and so on. Covered with teak swim platform and lowered into the water aft walls transformed into the so-called beach club with a minibar, armchairs and optional sport trainers. With the recreational potential yacht can meet all the essential requirements of the owners from different geographical regions, although the architecture of the body and the level of seaworthiness are more focused on speed and cruises in the warm, soothing waters.
