Taking inspiration from the Water Step Well in India, Philip Johnson’s Glass House and a 17th century Japanese Red Seal Ship, Desautel has come up with a unique design that connects sailors with the water.

With the glass sheets that make up the centre of the structure sliding away, this contemporary yacht design offers a very open living style.

Folding down steps that meet the water also make the vessel feel like she’s been built from the sea up.
