Van Geest Design & Fincantieri Yachts Collaboration for project MIRAGE 106m Motor Yachts

MIRAGE, is an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions, by the refraction  of light from the sky.

Mirage was designed to  bind  seemingly  opposite  and  contrary  forces  being  complementary,  interconnected,  and  interdependent, One  is  to  anchor  its  presence  in  the  landscape,  the  other  is  to  disappear  by  reflecting  its  surroundings.

Mirage is the translation  of  our  city  landscapes,  sky  scrapers,  gigantic,  present,  anchored,  but  then  again  cladded  with  reflective  surfaces,  blending  into  the  landscape,  merging  with  its  environment,  giving  lightness  to  the  building,  an  elegant  presence  embracing  its  surroundings.

Present  on  the  water  un-accessible  with  a  closed  transom,  one  can  only  board  in  by  invitation.  It  is  a  retreat  made  discreet  by  its  reflective  surfaces  blending  on  the  horizon,  with  its  decks  disappearing  between  water  and  sky.

Unfolding  itself,  Mirage  tells  a  story  of  time,  reflecting  the  day  passing  by  on  a  coloured  reflective  surface  offering  a  peaceful  gaze  on  the  travelled  distances.

Description of layout:

Top  deck  forward  is  a  pure  fun  area  designed  with  a  tub,  bean  bags  with  an  open  view,  a  reversed  theatre  on  the  roof  and  its  unfolding  outdoor  cinema.  Aft,  the  Helicopter  landing  platform  giving  the  ultimate  freedom  of  movement.

Bridge  deck  forward  the  area  has  been  designed  as  a  gathering  point,  interacting  with  the  captain,  discussing  the  next  destination  while  looking  forward.

The  main  Deck  is  dedicated  to  guests  with  forward  cabins  and  aft  entertainment  areas.  The  aft  full  beam  glazed  balustrade  opens  the  deck  to  its  surroundings.  The  Owner’s  deck  is  designed  for  privacy  with  an  amazing  all-around  view.  The  Owner’s  stateroom  located  forward  is  with  a  sheltered  exterior  deck  area;  aft  a  family  saloon  with  the  yacht  signature  full  beam  glazed  balustrade.

The  Guest  circulation  is  designed  in  a  central  core,  from  the  water  line  where  guest  board  the  yacht  to  the  Heli-pad.  On  the  water  line  from  the  centre,  a  glass  corridor  goes  through  the  engine  room  leading  to  a  full  beam  Spa,  where  all  areas  are  dressed  in  graduated  electric  privacy  glass.
