True to the water

n 2022–2023, Italian shipyards proved themselves worldwide leaders in the superyacht segment, as shown by the data from ‘The State of the Art of the Global Yachting Market,’ recently conducted by Deloitte for Confindustria Nautica, and as illustrated by our Business at Sea column. And as we hear in the interview with Massimo Gino and Mario Pedol of Nauta Design and see in the many yachts and superyachts built in shipyards like Azimut|Benetti, Baglietto, Mangusta, Pearl, Tankoa, The Italian Sea Group, VanDutch, and Wally, one of the key themes in recent naval architectural and interior design is seeking an ever-closer relationship with the sea. At times this means a slower way of boating as well as, increasingly, a greater physical and visual closeness to the natural elements. This is true both in sailboats, for which the relationship in tune with the water is clearly a driving factor, and in yachts of every size, and especially superyachts. Larger windows and lowered heights bring us closer to the sea surface. There are beach clubs that are larger, safer, and more comfortable to let those who are sailing stop and feel part of the marine landscape, enjoying its health-enhancing effects. We can take in wonder and respect for an invaluable, awe-inspiring environment, that of seas and oceans, and the element of water that means everything to the planet – for better or worse, as shown by the recent severe weather and flooding in Italy. Water is a symbolic element, natural and fundamental, and is part or “counterpart” of many architectural designs of different types and geographical locations.

For instance, there is the promenade on the Mediterranean Sea, Escaleras Y Mirador Vela in Barcelona, the Beach Club in the Sanya Edition in China’s Haitang Bay, the Esbjerg Maritime Center in Denmark, the Monologue Art Museum in China, Liben Docks and Ascension Paysagère residential complexes on riverfronts, in Prague and in Rennes, respectively, and the Fish Tail Ecological Park, where water is a regenerating part of a virtuous model of urban and recreational eco-systems. Water universally means generation and regeneration, and it embodies the feminine principle. This element abounds in this Wonder Book Yacht&Cruise 2023, including in the interview with Captain Caterina Nitto and the women interior designers that we present in a packed Bay of Fame section. Enjoy the read.

SIMPLICITY AS THE ESSENCE OF GOOD DESIGN In a joint interview in their offices in Milan, Mario Pedol and Massimo Gino of Nauta Design tell the story of their Italian studio with long experience and international reach

implicity is a design approach that is consistently applied as well as an expression of beauty. Their objective and the instinct are to seek innovation, beauty, and elegance even in the great diversity of the very many boats they have designed since 1985, from the 180-meter yacht, the Azzam from Lurssen, to a 34-foot sailboat. The sailboat has always been a “training ground in beauty” and the greatest functionality, as the “most fascinating floating objects that exists.” This same approach is practiced with consistency and success for motor yachts too. This design, professional, and personal story finds its common thread in a passion for boating in any mode and their mission to seek the highest quality in experiences at sea – one always in the greatest contact with the sea.

Nauta Design

You have worked together since 1985. How would you tell the history of your studio, touching on the salient moments? Mario Pedol: At first there were three of us partners. I transferred my experience in boating (including transatlantic) that I had on Oysters around Italy and then in the Caribbean where I lived for 8 months. That helped me appreciate what matters on a sailboat. Massimo is an organizational powerhouse. He has a wonderful hand in drawing, graphics, and design. We joined our complementary strengths and took part in our first Genoa Boat Show in 1986. Massimo Gino: We were in the pavilion for designers. Then I worked with airbrush to make designs and illustrations for our first project for a 54-foot boat. The next year we went with the completed boat. Mario Pedol: A 54-foot to sell with just drawings and a little model – wishful thinking. Five of us partners invested to build it and bring it to the Show. Massimo Gino: It went well and we sold the second one at the Genoa Boat Show. As builders, we did 15 of them in all over 6 years, 54, 65, and 72 feet. The roles have stayed pretty much the same. As a founding member, Mario handles customer relations, and I handle the design and production. With the increase in the amount of work, these days we have had between 20 and 25 designs going at the same time, including custom designs, semi-custom designs, and serial productions, like the designs for Oceanis and Lagoon, and those for Grand Soleil and Pardo Yachts. Recently, the motor megayacht sector has become very important in your work. Mario Pedol: In the 1990s, we had already had a couple of experiences in the world of standardproduction leisure motor boats, designing the interiors for Bertram, a long-time American brand, and for Toy Marine in 2003. Then we had a kind of “traineeship” experience squeezed into a year and a half, arm in arm with a great naval engineering

Energy positive, CO2 negative Designed by Powerhouse Company architects, FOR, a floating office in Rotterdam, is the first outstanding example of circular design made for climate resilience

t is both a springboard to renew Rotterdam’s old river port of Rijnhaven and a true design trailblazer finally addressing climate change and the environment. FOR (Floating Office Rotterdam), designed by Powerhouse Company architects, is effectively governed by water. The floating building, which houses self-sufficient, zero-emission offices, can withstand and adapt to rising sea levels due to climate change. Wood prevails in this virtuous example of circular economy since it drastically reduces the carbon footprint and can be easily disassembled and reused, though other recyclable materials are used as well. Technological solutions like the (river) water cooling system and 800 m2 of solar panels that generate energy on their own are accompanied by simple stratagem like the passive shading provided by the sloping (half green) roof and the overhanging balconies. This combination allowed the designers to convey their personal innovative vision of 30 | IFDM
