YACHTTALK S4E4: DESIGNING YACHTS, JETS & HOMES

1 AUGUST 2023

Yachts, jets and luxury homes represent the holy trinity for UHNWIs and create amazing opportunities and challenges for the top design studios of the world.

YachtTalk returns to Winch Design in London, a studio that is as comfortable designing a full custom superyacht, as it is an overly complicated luxurious aircraft cabin, or a jaw-dropping multi-million pound penthouse in London.

Together with Jim Dixon, Creative Director of Yachts and Aviation, and Simon Tomlinson, who heads the Architecture studio, we discuss their latest and greatest design projects, including Heesen’s new full custom yacht Project Sparta, and a glorious 7,700-foot penthouse at The OWO.
