Cross-over at heart
S
ignificantly, in this Wonder Book Yacht&Cruise 2022, three of the usual twelve Wonders are bridges. Whether covered, open or hybrid, they are all paths of connection, the cross-over point between one shore and the next, with a purpose that is real and powerfully metaphorical at once. More than just moving between opposite sides, it entails the need for exchange between people, knowledge, and passions. The careers of designers like Philippe Briand and Achille Salvagni have been shaped by their will to cross over between perspectives and design and creative realms. Here we are publishing long conversations with them, about their passion for the sea and for design.
It is a cross-over between two inseparable worlds, which in the nautical industry means constant innovation, performance, and functionality while developing increasingly sustainable solutions. Put simply, it’s about transformation. This transformation is becoming ever more evident in the pursuit of hybridization for the naval architecture of boats, yachts and superyachts, as well as their indoor and outdoor spaces. Once again there’s a cross-over between types and models, between construction tradition, design development, versatility, and the pursuit of the new. We will see this all at trade fairs in the coming months. Enjoy the read.
True to its origins, this Wonder Book offers a selection of international architectural and infrastructure projects, also giving our readers a view into passion for the sea and sea living of captains, shipowners, designers, and builders. All are aware that “land” is in an intrinsic, mirrored relationship to water, and that our “daily ecosystem” is closely tied to the marine ecosystem.

PHILIPPE BRIAND: A CAREER OF CROSS-OVERS “To be a yacht architect is to find the magic balance between Science and Art.” This short and simple quote aptly sums up the ideas and approach to design of Philippe Briand, a yacht designer and naval architect, who has made over 12,000 vessels over his long career
H
is first design was at 11 years old, and then he entered the world of races, winning two championships as helmsman and skipper. He ended up creating the very boats that are his great passion. Spurred by curiosity to investigate, discover, and find new ways of innovating the industry, he ranges from sailboats to superyachts. Each time, they are designed as unique pieces, the fruit of harmony between engineering, architecture, and aesthetics. His two studios – one based in London where he lives, and the other in La Rochelle, where he is from – and many collaborations with leading shipowners and shipyards (such as CNB, Wally, Jeanneau, Royal Huisman, Sanlorenzo, and Perini Navi) do not exhaust his never-ending creative ebullience. Now he is looking to the future of the boating industry with a powerful push for sustainability.

Philippe Briand
From sailing boat design to designing megayachts, your story is long and interesting. Let us hear your version of it. How did it all happen? I like to discover. That’s why I started in this field, being a seaman. I personally designed a sailboat for the America’s Cup. Then I developed interest in other kinds of boats, like big sailing yachts, and, from there, big motor yachts. Moving from one scale to another lets me enhance my skills because I always learn something from every field. Sometimes what I learn helps me to design something else. It’s a kind of cross-over. That’s my story. What drives me is my curiosity. I love to develop new concepts and new designs. This is what has happened over my career. This story is also about the pursuit of the ‘perfect yacht,’ whether a sailboat or motor boat. So how does ‘a’ yacht become ‘the’ perfect one? I think that nothing is perfect. No design, no life is perfect. But it’s a goal, and when you have this goal, of course, it helps you to make progress. This is what we’re doing every day. We want to constantly make better designs, now just as we did in the past. I believe we will do the same in the future, and we’ll be even more advanced. This is a kind of life guided by progress and the pursuit of perfection. Which efficient, long-range green technologies help yachts become more ‘perfect’? Being sustainable is one of the elements we consider when we start designing. Design is a matter of aesthetics, architecture, functionality, the taste of our client; all these pieces of information must be carefully considered and put out on the table to make this jigsaw puzzle. Now sustainability is a new piece of information, which affects several parts of the boat. Of course, it must be considered throughout our project. Now all industries are looking for a sustainable approach. We need to produce more, help the economy, but all with a new concern for the impact on the planet, which affects everybody. To me, sustainability means measuring the impact our ideas, creativity, and actions in the industry.

ustainable architecture, bio-architecture, green architecture. While major design firms around the world are increasingly focusing on the building-environment relationship, in the Halkidiki Peninsula in Greece there’s a resort where the link between building and nature is completely unique. “The relationship with the place is the ‘key’ of an architect’s work, meant to make the most of its potential and uniqueness; with Sani, the design’s intrinsic values join with the lay of the land, the climate, the light, and, of course, the water,” shares Niki ManouAndreadis, the founder and CEO of Nimand Architects, which oversaw the entire design with a focus
on sustainability, everything from the masterplan to its custom furnishing. The first thing we notice entering through the resort’s gates is its connection to the specific spirit of the place. Awarded with the World’s Leading Luxury Green Resort (World Travel Awards 2021), it is inside a 400-hectare ecoreserve with 7 kilometers of beach nestled in woods and wetlands, with five hotels, 40 restaurants, and a marina with boutiques arranged like an amphitheatre around the water, all fit perfectly in the surroundings. Niki Andreadis continues, “Sani is ambitiously green.” Significantly, it was the first carbon-neutral certified resort in Greece, completely powered by
