Stateroom interior update
As you may have read, we hired Estonia-based British designer Peter Sampson several weeks ago to give the staterooms a ‘look’ and make all technical drawings for the interior (walls, ceilings, furniture, bathrooms, the whole five yards).
I’m happy to say we’re making good progress here. While the first draft (see bottom of post) went to a second round as can be expected, we are now close to the final look and hope to post a quality render soon.
At the same time, we’ve been working on the distribution of the staterooms. Based on our general arrangement and using his extensive experience with wallpanel systems used in the passengership and off-shore industry and a couple of – what? 20 e-mails? - we basically nailed down this area of the vessel.
I’m particularly happy with the added storage space that Peter has been able to cramp into the rooms and the fact that all this can basically be made in a factory, ready to assemble on-site. There will be very little to ‘figure out’ once we have all the details. Compare with the original drawing below. Do you see improvements too?
Another very important point is that all bathrooms (“wet cells’ using he industry speak) will come totally ready to place in the vessel (where possible; some may have to be (partly re-assembled). But, they come with their own floor, drains, connections for water, etc.
There are many small changes. Our two ‘master suites’ now each have a queen bed and a 2-person sofa with a ceiling mounted pullman hidden above it. Desk’s have been moved around and the bathrooms layout’s are now practically final. Seeing it in 3D like below allows you to appreciate the space we have available.
No, the Kawasaki green won’t stay 
. In fact, here’s an update in PDF.
What do you think?
Hell, Thorwald !
Have You struck a goldmine ? LOOKS FANTS…..
How will Yo do on the inside of the hull ?
Rustpreventig before insulating? Have You seen This ?

You could use it in the ballast tanks too, making sanblasting
unnessesary. This gives You a perfect surfase , and rustprevented surfacce if painted 2 times, for the sprayinsulating.
But remember, bitumen MUST be removed, thus it have “big”
molecules and when it is a major temp. diff (inside/outside), the
bitumen come loose from the iron.
Hope I could help You in some way…….(You already knew…?)

I prefer the second one, with the red/baige and cream colours. You’re right, the kawasaki green is terrible. What was the designer thinking? lol.
The interiors of the cabins are nice though, comfortable and elegant but not overstated and pretentious. Good balance
