“The continuous search for new solutions, experimenting with different scenarios, is incredibly stimulating. Exploring new fields means encouraging creativity by constantly putting oneself to the test.” Bernardo and Martina Zuccon have long been engaged in the study and application of new types of accommodation in yachting, often fusing it with their experience in the residential field. Brother and sister, both architects, are at the helm of Zuccon International Project, the multidisciplinary architecture and industrial design office founded in 1972 by their parents Gianni Zuccon and his wife Paola Galeazzi, names of considerable weight in yacht design. “Today there is a lot of talk about home design combined with yachting, but it is important not to lose sight of the functional aspect of the craft: its sailing qualities. These are just some of the factors that make the work of those of us who design yachts different from that of our land-locked colleagues,” explains Bernardo Zuccon. “A yacht is not a static architecture and clearly its interiors have to adapt to natural movements without compromising the functionality of the interiors. Whether it’s a yacht or a superyacht, we see every project as a container of life that has to avoid changing in its spaces and functions. They simply transform and adapt to different dimensions and ergonomics, without forcing those who will live on board the boat to accept sacrifices".
