MY MOONSTONE was an amazing experience for Luxury Projects, as a yacht designed from scratch with full custom-made interiors. Simplicity in architecture lines matched with contrast of materials and proper use of light, allowed Luxury Projects (LP) to create a timeless style with a real elegant, homely feeling.

The Master Bathroom features a calm palette of colours with shades of blue matching with the Master Cabin decoration. Mongolian special marble walls, with a light blue colour contrast with the special engineered teak wood.

Innovation, was the best inspiration for Luxury Projects and it helped them to make and match colours perfectly. This translated itself in the use of several special materials and finishes. LP also looked at their own heritage and mixed some great materials from the past, of particular interest is the innovative yet ancient “pozzolana” (which is also known by its Latin name, opus signum) with state-of-the-art materials as “vetrite” glass by SICIS with which LP designed the two amazing custom-made mosaics, exceptionally manufactured by SICIS. Furthermore, regarding the “pozzolana”, it’s a building material that is 30% less heavy than marble. The Romans used it for aqueducts, and, in the case of the Moonstone, it was applied to the showers in all guests’ bathrooms. Playing with materials from the ancient past and near future and influences from different cultures worked especially well.

The lighting design was approached holistically, fully incorporated into the interior and domestic automation. Luxury Projects fully explored LED technology and the use of indirect light, ceiling domes and frames, which increase the height of the salon and the full perception of the space.

From the beginning, Luxury Projects have been studying the lighting of the project and how to enhance the colours and finishes of all materials through lighting. For further enhancement of the warm cosy interior feeling, Luxury Projects completely moved away from the use of spotlights, except for some places where timely direct lighting is necessary and desired, for example in the toilet and on the sink top, otherwise only indirect lighting is used.
