Climbing the stairs leads to the owner’s suite. “The owner’s stateroom on
his previous boat was on the bridge deck and it was something that he very
much wanted to replicate,” Harrison says, “even though it limits access to
the bridge for guests, because the owner’s full beam suite separates it from
the main staircase.” While guests can reach the bridge via exterior stairs from
the main deck, the owner has a secret door providing bridge access from the
suite’s sitting room.
Depending on preference, a sliding wall can separate the sitting room from
the ofset cabin for privacy. A separate saloon, a cosier version of the main
saloon below, is aft of a pantry that these self-suicient owners like to use for
their own snacks. A grey carved silk carpet by Tai Ping updates a traditional
damask pattern to ofset the smooth chenille chairs, a less formal alternative
to velvet – Tasior-Eidsgaard calls the efect “classic with a twist”. This saloon
in turn leads to a covered al fresco lounge with chunky outdoor furniture by
Glyn Peter Machin. Here and on the al fresco dining area on the deck above,
