Kenshō flows. Maximum expression of the intuition of her Owner who directly oversaw the project in every detail. Kenshō redefines the boundaries of space, distribution and luxury on superyachts, the emblem of something new, personal and revolutionary. M/Y Kenshō has an innovative “diesel-electric” propulsion system, which has given it the “ECO” notation of the Classification Body. Kenshō integrates the best ideas of residential design and marine design to create a new quality of life at sea.

Kenshō was born from the hand of the Owner who drew in a pencil sketch consisting of 12 lines, in the winter of 2016, the symbolic and concrete union of form and function. The Owner’s intuition has also been able to unite a strong team made up of naval architects and designers AZURE (Netherlands) and the design studio archineers.berlin (Germany) constantly followed in the technical part by Technical Marine UK and Trappmann Consulting, who have been able to transform that which was a simple design in a variety of generous outdoor spaces, and unique features.

In close collaboration with the Owner and archineers.berlin, Azure Yacht Design developed the exterior design of Kenshō. Forget about the traditional layouts, Kenshō has state-of-the-art features such as a single crew corridor and gangways only on upper deck – optimizing the volume for luxury guest areas. Full height glass where possible and lowered bulwarks are the ingredients for mesmerizing outboard views like a sailing yacht’s experience. All outside decks with their own specific functionalities making Kenshō’s platform complete and efficient. Spaces are large, high-class and comfortable. Azure Yacht Design and archineers.berlin redefined what used to be called impossible, fusing aesthetics and technical feasibility. Together they designed an exciting exterior schema that pushes at the edges. The elegant and soft exterior lines embrace all the purest forms of functionality. No exterior item has been compromised to make room for the technical outfitting of the yacht. Her unparalleled organic shapes seem to come from an unexplored underwater world.

With their experience and the youthful enthusiasm of fresh eyed newcomers, Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku (Agence Jouin Manku) approached the design of KENSHŌ’s interiors by posing some fundamental questions that challenge naval tradition. KENSHŌ synthesises superior solutions from residential and naval architecture to trace new lines for quality living at sea. Generous high ceilings, panoramic views, intelligent and modular configurations that adapt to enhance space, intimacy and comfort. The lighting, curated by “ Voyons Voir - Lighting Design ”, recreates a soft environment recalling the lighthouse that gave hope to the navigators of the past were at sea. Noble materials are artfully transformed into rounded and organic forms. Teak, marble, onyx, silk, wool, bronze and glass - a diverse material palette deployed in a deeply personal and poetic expression of design. From her exterior hardscape to her soft touch interior, the narrative is coherent, seamless and contemporary; each element orchestrated by the agency.

Admiral has gone full Zen with its new flagship.

The luxurious 246-foot superyacht, which was launched in Italy on Wednesday, has been christened Kenshō . This Japanese term hails from the Zen school of thought and essentially means “seeing one’s (true) nature.” In other words, the vessel was named after the experience of enlightenment and aims to “create a new quality of living at sea,” according to the new owner.

Admiral , which is helmed by the Italian Sea Group, tapped Azure Yacht Design and Archineers Berlin for Kenshō ’s exterior. Crafted from steel and aluminum, the four-decker is characterized by sleek lines and a classic silhouette. The interior, on the other hand, was designed by Jouin Manku and pays homage to nature. You can expect “smooth and organic shapes,” along with an eclectic mix of natural materials, including teak, marble, onyx, silk and wool. Naturally, there is also a good dose of fine art.

At the heart of Kenshō , the main saloon sports plush seating for up to 16 guests and a large TV for requisite chilling. From here, you can access the forward main deck that comes equipped with an alfresco dining area and yet more seating. The upper deck, meanwhile, features a unique living area made possible due to the unconventional positioning of the wheelhouse. Elsewhere, there is a sprawling beach club aft that affords “mesmerizing views at the same level as the ocean,” according to Admiral.

As for accommodation, Kenshō can sleep up to 16 guests across seven ensuite staterooms and one full-beam master’s suite. She can also house 20 crew across 12 additional cabins.

The superyacht certainly has plenty of spirit when it comes to propulsion, too. Powered by a hybrid diesel-electric system, Kenshō has a max speed of 15.4 knots and a cruising speed of 13.6 knots. She can also cover some 4,350 nautical miles when traveling at 12 knots.

“Thanks to the Kenshō, we proudly confirm our know-how and specific skills in building megayachts of such innovation and beauty,” Giovanni Costantino, founder and CEO of the Italian Sea Group, said in a statement .

Kenshō will be available to charter with Y.CO in the summer of 2022. Sounds like the perfect place to enjoy a moment of Zen.

XTRA- THE ITALIAN SEA GROUP: M/y KENSHō

Launched recently, Kenshō is the new 75-metre superyacht of the  Admiral  fleet, flagship brand of The Italian Sea Group , global operator in luxury yachting, active in the construction and refit of yachts over 100 meters. Kenshō is not a simple name, it is a philosophy, a world, between a starting point and a destination. It is the physical representation of a vision, the perfect experience of a sea journey.

The Japanese word Kenshō consists of Ken and shō and stands for seeing one’s true nature, indicating the first intuition at the awakening or the enlightenment of one’s self. “ Kenshō integrates the best ideas of residential design and marine design to create a new quality of life at sea ”, explains the Owner , who personally supervised the design and development.

The soft and organic shapes and finishes of the superyacht are inspired by nature as a steady motif all over the yacht, with a 22.3 m3 swimming pool placed on the aft beach deck ensuring breathtaking views. When it comes to the interiors, a spacious full beam master suite can be experienced all open or subdivided for one level of intimacy, while guest cabins are 7 meter deep room and have a unique layout. The wide yet intimate main deck is for sharing magic moments, with comfort, luxury and cozy atmosphere.

The mix of materials used, including Teak, Marble, Onyx, Silk, Wool, Bronze and Glass result in a innovative yacht made of history, traditions, values, myths, and tales. The exteriors have been designed by Azure Yacht Design (NL] in collaboration with archineers.berlin (DE], while the interiors have been designed by Agence Jouin Manku [FR]. Technical Marine UK has supervised the project for the Owner from the very first moment, as Project Manager and Technical Surveyor.

“This motor yacht represents another success and highlights our capability to create effective synergies with international professional partners. Working on sucha masterpiece, so full of details and research, has been an amazing experience for all of us ”- concludes  Giovanni Costantino , Founder & CEO of The Italian Sea Group.

Kenshō wins Motor Yacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards

The 75-metre Admiral superyacht Kenshō has been named Motor Yacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards.

A secret ballot by the independent panel of judges revealed the flagship of the Italian Sea Group as the winner by a healthy margin, chosen from among the eight individual winners of the Semi-Displacement and Displacement Motor Yacht classes.

Kenshō –  a Japanese word meaning “seeing one’s true nature” – took six years to create from 2016 when the initial foundations were laid through to her delivery and debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2022. Her flowing lines and green-blue metallic paint inspired by a Ford Mustang colour from the 1960s are eye-catching, but it was her owner-driven attributes that tipped the scales for the judges.

The owner visited around 100 of the world's landmark yachts to draw up a list of what he wanted in the vessel: high deckheads and minimal side decks; efficient interaction between crew and guests; large, calming volumes; and no main saloon. Designers at Netherlands-based   Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture and Germany-based archineers.berlin developed the naval architecture and exterior design. 

Nature is a theme that is seen continuously throughout Kenshō . Her exterior is said to represent the curves of a pebble shaped by the forces of nature over time, while the stairs of the pool deck have been designed to look like they were carved out by the sea. The same feeling is captured inside too thanks to Parisian design studio Jouin Manku , who created a palette of soft natural tones in leather, teak, metal and glass  – it was the studio's first yachting project.

Kenshō ’s diesel-electric propulsion system with twin Veth azimuth drives, driven by Danfoss electric motors, draw their exact power needs from five variable-speed generators to help minimise her footprint.

This is not the first piece of silverware the vessel has collected since her launch. She was awarded a Neptune at the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards for Best Interior Design in the Motor Yachts 500GT and Above category.

6 Architects That Are Now Creating Designs for Superyachts

Posted: December 11, 2023 | Last updated: December 11, 2023

1.-real-lead-Symbiosis-by-Kurt-Merki-Jr_05

Exciting yacht design doesn’t require reinventing the wheel. But a fresh view always helps. That’s why more yacht owners are looking for land-based architects and designers for their new build and refit interiors, preferring a cross-pollination of ideas over the tried and true.

The first owner to shy away from the traditional yacht designer set was billionaire Lukas Lundin, who tasked Italian architect Cristina Gherardi Benardeau to design the interior of the 274-foot Savannah. The Feadship, launched in 2015, is largely remembered as the first superyacht with a hybrid propulsion package. But the interior is just as radical.

Benardeau, a designer of retail space for Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior Couture, gave the 262-foot yacht the world’s first “Nemo lounge,” or a bubble in the hull where the owners and guests could see underwater.  It also featured what looked like a floating superstructure, employing long strips of tinted glass inspired by skyscrapers. (The same visual trick was employed later in Oceanco’s 361-foot Jubilee.) Savannah was the first boat to receive full metallic exterior paint job to blend in with the ocean surroundings—an idea later seen on superyacht Kensho, when it delivered in 2022.

Since then, a number of owners and boatbuilders have employed residential architects to do interior designs, as well as offer exterior flourishes (though naval architects complete the structures and running surfaces.) Rome architect Achille Salvagni has done projects for Rossinavi and Azimut, Lord Norman Foster created a series that later became the YachtPlus fleet, Lazzarini & Pickering designed the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M, and next year, Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez will show their talents on Azimut’s SeaDeck Series.

Even residential stalwarts like Zaha Hadid Architects can’t help but experiment with nautical projects. Following the 2016 reveal of the firm’s Unique Circle Yachts series, the studio collaborated with Vitruvius Yachts this year on Britain’s new “royal yacht” project. And more recently, the architects unveiled concept renderings for Oneiric, a proposed catamaran in collaboration with Italian shipyard Rossinavi.

From skyscraper to sea, here are six yachts designed by mainstream architects.

Amer F100, Architect Roberto Palomba

Architect Roberto Palomba has been designing houses for decades. His Milan-based studio, Palomba Serafini Associati, includes the Italian Consulate in Detroit, home décor and even tableware, among its past projects. His first yacht is the Amer F100, which features a unique “Glass Cabin” as the main salon. It was designed in partnership with Ludovica Serafini. “My aim was to change some standard boat elements to create something completely different,” Palomba told Robb Report during the yacht’s world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival. “Certainly, our perspective offers a fresh look, an architectural vision rooted in the world of architecture and interior design, translated into the realm of yacht design.” The Glass Cabin is an architectural glass box that encases the main salon and formal dining area with windows that are larger than other yachts with similar dimensions. The garden creates openness, light and a continuous connection with the sea. Continuing the theme, reflective surfaces are used on the walls and ceiling across all social areas to bring more light in, while stairs joining the main deck to the bridge are topped by more glass, opening the heart of the yacht to blue skies.

‘Kensho,’ Jouin Manku

Kensho ‘s owner was a first-time yacht buyer who wanted a one-of-a-kind vessel. He looked beyond the pool of yachting talent for a designer who could create a signature statement inside the 246-foot Admiral. The owner eventually decided on Paris design house Jouin Manku, an experienced architecture and industrial design studio, without a single yacht to its name. Co-founder Sanjit Manku took the design brief and ran with it, eschewing traditional yachting layouts for high-volume and big sea views. Variations on the established interiors include lofty 8.9-foot-tall ceilings, open-plan cabin layouts (where the bathrooms are on display) and locating the owner’s salon—more akin to an observation lounge—to the upper deck where the captains’ wheelhouse is traditionally located.  “We drew on our restaurant design experience to create an ambience and furniture that is practical yet opulent,” Manku told Robb Report . “The dining chairs have ski feet that make it easy for guests to slide in and out, and we incorporated flattering lighting rather than ceiling spotlights.” The end result is a stunning, personalized interior that is unique in yachting. 

‘Carinthia VII,’ Bizzozero Cassina Architects

Refits are also getting design overhauls by non-yacht designers. Lürssen’s 318-foot Carinthia VII , first delivered in 2002 and designed by Tim Heywood, was sold in 2022 to a new owner. He called on Italian studio Bizzozero Cassina Architects for what turned out to be a major refit in a nearly record 300 days. The architectural studio is experienced in real estate, including a few of the owner’s private properties. But yacht refits are a recent addition to its portfolio. “The key to any project’s success is to know the person, their lifestyle and the way they think,” architect Paolo Bizzozero said. “Only with these three ingredients can you remedy a truly bespoke environment that works for them and for their life.” Key additions include a 1,334-sq. ft. sundeck, with a large dining table and teppanyaki grill. Equally impressive was the 39-foot-long glass-paneled swimming pool on the main deck (with two large televisions to view live sports), and a 968-sq. ft. air-conditioned gym on the bridge deck that also serves as a winter garden.

Contest G7CS, Bentley Interior

Bentley fans who dream of a book-matched yacht interior might look closely at the 67-foot Contest 67CS.  Commissioned by a private client and launched in November, it is the first collaboration between Bentley and Contest Yachts. with all the design flair Bentley could bring to a yacht. Conceived to match the luxe design of a custom continental GT coupe, the sailboat features the same materials, motifs and craftsmanship on its cars and home designs, including the same hand-stitching found on the Bentley steering wheel and the yacht’s Malvern Chair. Bespoke one-offs include a bar and vanity unit, the captain’s chair and “Egg” table, and a sofa which was hand-built at Bentley’s engineering facility and finished in its signature trim. The brand’s iconic diamond-quilted hides were also included across entire yacht interior. Small details like the tissue box and drink coasters were created from scratch to match the owner’s taste.

‘Entourage,’ Diego Burdi, Burdifilek

Entourage , the second hull in Amels’ 60 Limited Editions range, is the owner’s second yacht. He had clear ideas about the functional layout of the boat, so he appointed commercial design firm Burdifilek to realize that vision. The Toronto-based co-founder, Diego Burdi, adopted a “marine design” approach. “I believe strongly that you should feel like you’re on a boat,” he told Robb Report . That is apparent in areas like the the lower-deck staterooms where the bulkheads hug the curve of the hull. Carved and layered wooden ceilings—a detail introduced from the owner’s experience in real estate—add drama and tactility. Most significantly, Burdi reversed the central stairwell and tucked it into the perimeter of the yacht to create a wider walkthrough and, in so doing, a work of art.

‘Symbiosis,’ Kurt Merki, Jr.

The 279-foot Symbiosis is Studio KMJ’s nature-driven introduction to the world of superyacht design. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, the 3,000 GT concept speaks to a rising trend for biophilic design with 10 nature-driven features. These include a “tree of life” planted on the main deck aft that stretches across two decks, a 1,000-sq. ft. irrigated lawn tended by a gardener and intended for both play and picnics, and a life-sized herbarium called “The Sanctum” where herbs, spices and vegetables can be cultivated. The Swiss designer Kurt Merki Jr collaborated with Axel Massmann, CEO of Yacht-Green, who acted as a strategic advisor on best practices to “green” the superyacht lifestyle. According to the designers, the natural elements are fully buildable. All it needs is an owner willing to take a leap.
