Pastrovich Studio have been shortlisted for Motor Yacht 25-40 Metres Award in The International Yacht & Aviation Awards.

Atlantico was created by yacht designer Stefano Pastrovich of Pastrovich Studio, based in Monaco. Atlantico has an overall length of 27.4 metres and features a 10.2 metre beam when the fold-down side terraces are implemented. The brief for this project was for a rational aesthetic with large open-plan spaces, designed for liveability, versatility and functionality, whilst not compromising on the visual appeal.

The principle that guided the project from the very beginning was ‘less is more’ – inspired by Mies Van der Rohe. Therefore, the design focussed on what was most essential in an attempt to free the spirit of the users from the ‘cognitive bombardment of modern life’. Pastrovich applied this theory to Atlantico by focusing on the elements he considered necessary to fully enjoy the onboard experience. Atlantico’s main deck measures 27x8m for a total area of 145 sqm. In this space there is no fixed furniture, except for the helm console and the pilot’s seats. All the sofas and tables are fixed to the deck by easily removable pins.

One of the most significant architectural motifs of the project is the continuity and seamlessness between interior and exterior: a feature that is already a hallmark of Pastrovich Studio, but which is even more pronounced aboard Atlantico. This sense of continuity is not only highlighted by the uninterrupted teak decking from bow to stern that seems to ignore the presence of the deckhouse, but also the abruptly vertical lines of the aft section of the deckhouse, designed without an aft door to provide free circulation fore and aft and diminish the perception of being inside or outside.

Like the exterior, the interior environment has been stripped of superfluous elements. The doors are hidden in the walls when not in use and the structural pillars on the upper deck continue down to the floor, the ceiling design enhances the geometry of the pillars, and the beds and sofas are removable to be able to change them over time.
