Oceanco's 90m DAR Wins Top Honors at the Design & Innovation Awards

"The strength of the glass has been calculated taking into account the motions in a seaway," says Oceanco Project Manager Erwin de Looff. "The movement of the panels relative to the adjoining panels has been calculated for every single panel. The glue process has been developed by the supplier and approved by Lloyd's to ensure the mounting of the glass was to the highest standards. Indeed, the whole superstructure has been approved by Lloyd's, including the glass."

The specially treated glass affords the owners privacy from the outside and at the same time yields incredible views from the inside looking out. Views and a connection to the sea have been important design elements throughout. For instance, the Upper Deck has glass bulwarks that allow for total visibility of the water when seated.

"While one can certainly appreciate the grandeur of DAR from afar, the large scale of this yacht is not truly evident until you are close up," says Luiz DeBasto.  "Once on board there is a sense of flow and wellbeing that is generated from the entire design as a whole."

DAR's exterior designer, Luiz DeBasto and Interior designers, Carlo Nuvolari, from Nuvolari Lenard, were on hand to receive the awards along with the Oceanco team.

This award is a welcome start to 2019 as Oceanco has a busy year ahead…
