Sunseeker Yacht Lineup for Cannes – Robb Report

Read article : Sunseeker Yacht Lineup for Cannes – Robb Report

British yacht maker Sunseeker has had an extraordinary run over the past three years, launching a record number of new models across its different lines. All reflect the design prowess of the U.K.’s largest yacht-builder, but also demonstrate its versatility in catering to very different types of owners. At the Cannes Yachting Festival, eight models will be docked one after the next. They include one world premiere, three show debuts, and four recently launched models. All told, the new Sunseekers show exactly why James Bond’s favorite boat remains at the top of its game.

Predator 57 MK II: World Launch

The Predator series is one of Sunseeker’s signature achievements. Aggressive, elegant, and fast, the Predator 57 and 68 have two of the most advanced cockpit designs in yachting. Defined by curves and nonstop glass, the overhead enclosures also have opening sunroofs covering a third of the space. This feature brings the outdoors in with the push of a button, but it also let Sunseeker turn the cockpit into a climate-controlled saloon.

Who says you can’t do a good thing better? The Predator 57 MK II, an evolution of the two-year-old 57, retains the giant sunroof, multiple social areas, three staterooms, and a captain’s cabin. The MK II’s sweeping side windows are now pillar-less, allowing for uninterrupted views of the ocean. Social possibilities aboard the MK II are covered in every type of weather: The cockpit buttons up nicely in rain or wind, but when the sun’s out, the patio door between the saloon and outer cockpit actually lowers into the sole, turning the deck into an entertainment area. The 57 MK II also has an optional mini-beach club, with an integrated barbecue, overhead shower, and fold-down seating. Belowdecks, the full-beam master suite and large, forward VIP stateroom are both feature en-suite bathrooms. The galley-down layout adjoins an L-shaped lounge and allows for more open space on the main deck.

Beyond its head-turning profile, the Predator 57 MKII reaches speeds up to 40 knots, depending on engine and drive choices. It’s a nimble boat, able to carve turns like much smaller sportboats.

Manhattan 66: Cannes Debut

Over the years, the Manhattan line has pushed flybridge design away from plodding, boxy boats into sleek, fast motor yachts. Sunseeker’s new 66 Manhattan fast-forwards yacht design a step further by maximizing volume, both inside and out, and bathing the interior in natural light through supersized windows on the upper deck and large through-hull windows in the staterooms. The flybridge size has also expanded, with sunning areas beside the helm station and aft along the overhang. The open-plan saloon, with the aft galley and high headroom, also feels larger than most 66-footers. (The galley can also be configured on the deck below for more entertainment area in the saloon.)

The galley-up design, however, let Sunseeker expand the four staterooms, which include two large twins, a forward VIP suite, and a full-beam master suite. The master stateroom has big picture windows on either side, with a sizable en-suite bathroom and closets. It also has a first for a Sunseeker this size: a private stairway that keeps the room secluded and homey. The new 66 also has an optional twin cabin for crew, with separate access through the transom.

Like the Predator 57 MK II, an optional beach club on the transom includes the barbecue, foldaway seating, and a pop-up rain-forest shower that is perfect for washing off the salt after a swim or snorkel. The swim platform is capable of holding a 13-foot Williams 385 Jet Tender. The bow area on the 66 is also worth pointing out, with a significantly larger table and loungers than most similar yachts. Upgrades like these make it clear why the 66 Manhattan has attracted 34 new owners since it was first launched in January. It could easily be one of Sunseeker’s most popular yachts ever.

The 66 Manhattan can be powered by Volvo or MAN diesels, with a potential top speed of 32 knots. At 10 knots, its range is 550 nautical miles.

Sunseeker 68 Sport Yacht Britain

68 Sport Yacht: Cannes Debut

The 68 Sport Yacht has a modern look, thanks to a curvy but angular superstructure that gives it a contemporary, almost edgy, profile. Add dozens of square feet of tinted glazing to the hardtop, and yet more windows along the hull side, and the 68-footer really has no peers in its class. Thanks to the shape of the superstructure, headroom is extremely generous in the saloon, while the windows provide a clear view to the sea. Sunseeker’s carpenters do exceptional work, so the craftsmanship in the saloon’s furniture and cabinets is outstanding. The same levels of fit and finish can be seen belowdecks, in the full-beam master suite, with its large en-suite bathroom, desk and lounge, and, surprisingly for a boat this size, a walk-in closet. The VIP suite in the bow has a queen-size bed and two hanging lockers, while the third stateroom has twin beds and its own en-suite bathroom. The crew quarters in the stern has twins for the captain and first mate.

Beyond the expansive interior, the 68’s social areas outside are also unusually large. A sunbed on the bow can accommodate a family of four rather than the usual couple, while the L-shaped lounge at the cockpit could provide seating for a party of 12. The cockpit doors slide open normally or, with the push of a button, lower into the floor to create an unbroken space between the saloon and cockpit. It’s that kind of advanced feature that demonstrates the forward thinking behind the 68.

Speaking of which, the swim platform also lowers into the water for launching and retrieving the Williams Jet Tender, or guests can also just have easier access to the water. Depending on engine choice, the 68 Sport Yacht can reach a top end of 38 knots, with a range of 300 nautical miles.

Sunseeker 131 Yacht Britain

131 Yacht: Cannes Debut

Sunseeker’s new 131 Yacht, which launched last year, has already seen its order book balloon with 10 orders. The beauty about this tri-deck Sunseeker is that no two will look alike. Sunseeker’s bespoke service not only customizes the interior design, but also the internal configurations. The standard layout is for 10 guests in five cabins, though the number of staterooms can be increased or decreased, according to the owner. Sunseeker can also add many, many nice touches like fabric or wood upgrades. The builder will even install “feature” glass panels near ceilings in the master suite, saloon, and upper saloon to augment natural light from those rooms’ already sizable picture windows.

Taking the place of the former Sunseeker 130, the 131’s designers made quality-of-life improvements like extending the sky deck and upper aft deck by 7 feet. That extra length allows for a larger, fully equipped bar and stools, and more ample seating. The sky deck also has lux extras like a Jacuzzi. The cockpit on the deck below features a dining table for 10 that adjoins the upper saloon. On the main deck, the open-plan saloon has a large social area with sofas and a formal dining table. The enclosed professional galley just forward of the dining area comprises about a quarter of the main deck, while the master suite toward the bow is even larger. The palatial master includes a large bedroom, separate desk and lounge areas, and a full-beam bathroom forward, with his-and-her sinks, shower, toilet/bidet, and even a bathtub.

The garage will accommodate a 20-foot tender, plus two jet skis. The new 131 can reach a top end of 25 knots, making it unusually fast for a superyacht, or cruise at 10 knots to provide a 1,500-mile range. The hull was designed to perform across its speed curve, providing a smooth, comfortable ride.

Today's new homes feature an owner's retreat

Read article : Today's new homes feature an owner's retreat

Master suites get royal treatment in today's new homes.

Once a utilitarian room in the house, the owners' bedroom was simply a place to sleep. Only in the past 25 years has the master suite been a common feature in new-home building.

Today the master suite is plush, comfortable and full of luxury. It is often comprised of a good-sized bedroom, his-and-hers closets and a spalike bath. And if homeowners desire, the suite can include all the amenities of a five-star hotel.

If early morning coffee is a must -- voila -- a coffee bar can be installed. Or if relaxing before bed is your style, a lounge chair can be delivered. Whatever your desire, the master suite -- a haven within your home -- can indulge your senses.

"Today, most of our clients want what we now call the "owners' suite," a large bedroom, one or two walk-in closets and a bath with dual vanities, soaker tub and separate shower," said Ray Blankenship, area vice president for K. Hovnanian Homes.

To complement the suite, a soft color palette of cool pastels creates a relaxing, welcoming ambience. And ambience is an important part of the suite package.

That ambience comes in many forms. At Hovnanian's new Regency model, the designer creates a dramatic look in the bedroom with a coffered ceiling and a beautiful chandelier, which give the appearance of largeness and draws the eye upward.

In its Auburn model, Modern Homes Inc. shows a backlit tray ceiling that sets the mood in the sleeping area along with soothing colors and luxurious fabrics.

To enhance the bedroom space, a lot of KLM Builders' buyers do some sort of volume -- tiered or tray -- ceiling, said Kim Meier, president of the company.

KLM Builders also features beautiful silk fabric draperies and bed covers in its model homes. A four-poster bed covered with luscious soft peach silks and an array of beautiful pillows beckons homeowners in the decorated Sonoma model.

Many builders feature lots of glass in the bedroom area with picturesque views of the outside.

"We place the master in the back of the house, and always use a lot of glass with triple views of the outdoors," Meier said. "People have more privacy, and they're looking at trees or a natural wooded setting, and they really like that."

Beth Van Dyke, sales manager for Modern Hones, says buyers are no longer looking for a huge oversized master, but a more moderate-sized space outfitted with large walk-in closets with organizers.

"Big walk-in closets are very popular with all our masters," Meier said. "But the room is still a pretty good size. We haven't shrunk our masters, and there is room to put in a chair or two."

Furnishings also contribute to a room's ambience and provide the comfort and convenience homebuyers desire. For example, The Regency model shows a touch of glamour in its master bedroom with a white love seat at the foot of the bed.

"We wanted to illustrate how people can enjoy the serenity of reading a book or watching a movie in their space," Blankenship said.

Of course, no master suite is complete without a luxury bath where homeowners can start and end each day with a little pampering using fluffy towels, pretty soaps, scented oils, lotions and candles.

People like windows or skylights in the bathroom to let in the natural light, and these features are very popular, Meier said. Builders use lighting to create a relaxing mood and comfortable ambience in the bath, making the room as bright or intimate as clients wish. A chandelier adds a touch of elegance, while recessed lighting distributes the light more evenly.

Will a custom walk-in shower be the centerpiece of the master bath? Yes, it's a new trend some builders say, including Van Dyke.

People have no desire for whirlpools anymore, and some people are replacing the whirlpool that no one uses with an oversized shower with nice benches, ceramic floor and niches for bath essentials, Van Dyke said.

"We're doing a lot of master suite remodels where people are ripping out the whirlpool tubs and using the space for the larger showers. We just completed a very sleek master bath that has white marble in the entire bathroom and only (no tub) the deluxe shower."

"Although the whirlpool is going out, most of our buyers opt for a soaking tub, and they still want the tub and shower," Meier said. The Brentwood model illustrates how inviting a corner soaker tub is with a canopy feel, candles on the ledge and windows above.

Blankenship says they too are doing the soaker tub and separate walk-in shower in their master baths and haven't seen the new trend yet.

Tile in master baths is still a popular feature with ceramic or porcelain on the floors, around soaking tubs, showers and backsplashes. A newer item is glass mosaics that can be used alone or with the more traditional tiles.

"We use ceramic and porcelain tiles in our master baths," Meier said. "We offer so many beautiful porcelain tiles, which are harder than ceramic and look like real stone."

Some builders have banned the toilet from the main bath, placing it in a separate room or using a half wall to separate it from the rest of the room. "We're still doing the compartmentalized toilet," Meier said.

When it comes to the vanity area, single sinks are out, and his-and-hers vanities are in. What a great feature to ease the morning rush. Many builders split his and hers into completely separate countertops, sinks and storage.

Yes, storage. The master bath has not escaped the growing storage movement, and often the basic cabinet under the sink is not adequate for today's buyers.

"People want a lot of space for storage, such as a large linen closet in the bathroom," Van Dyke said.

Cabinetry might also include sets of small drawers, corner cabinets or tall, narrow cabinets on either side of a long single countertop.

Specialty Bathrooms - Specialty Bathrooms

Read article : Specialty Bathrooms - Specialty Bathrooms

In addition to more baths, today's homes often sport more specialized baths than in the past. Easiest to create in newly constructed homes or additions, specialty baths can also be carved out of unused guest bedrooms, hallways, the space over the garage, or other existing areas. Here are a few of the most-wanted specialty baths.

Master Suite

While many homes can accommodate a master bath adjacent to the master bedroom, a master suite has the bathroom actually incorporated into a section of the overall bedroom area, both enclosed behind a door that leads to the common hallway.

Large or small, a master suite looks especially spacious and elegant when both the bedroom and the bathroom share a design scheme.

Although the bedroom is largely soft furnishings and the bathroom is mostly hard-surface installed fixtures, you can incorporate the same motifs (neoclassical, English country, Early American, soft contemporary, etc.) in both, using the same color scheme.

You may elect to alter the proportions of each color to create variations on a theme. For example, an opulent European-inspired bedroom in wine with accents of hunter green, gold, and ivory may lead nicely into a master bath with hunter green fixtures, brass-gold fittings, and ivory ceramic tiles, sparked with towels and accessories in wine.

When designing the suite, you may want to avoid putting fixtures on the wall shared with the bedroom to minimize noise from a pressure-assist toilet, shower, and so on. You can further buffer sound by putting bath cabinets and bedroom closets on opposite sides of a shared wall, with the bed on the far wall.

If possible, locate the bath on an outside wall to make a window possible, and make sure the walkway between the bedroom and the bath is easily accessible, wide enough, and free of obstructions, to be safe for users in the dark or when ill.

Private Toilet Compartment

With both halves of a couple rushing to get ready for work at the same time these days, a shared bathroom is under more demands. Even the closest pair often prefer a private toilet compartment, and bigger baths are beginning to reflect this desire.

Where your waste stack is (or can be) located will have a lot to do with where the toilet is located. If it's on a far wall and in a corner, a separate compartment is feasible. The compartment wall will run the full height of the room and should extend at least 3 feet in front of the toilet and a foot on each side; wider for universal accessibility.

The compartment should be equipped with an easily accessible artificial light source plus a skylight or small window if at all possible. If there's no operable window, be sure to install an exhaust fan to keep the space fresh. You'll also want to make sure that there's enough space for a hanging cabinet above the toilet tank to house commonly needed supplies and that there's room for a small wastebasket on the floor.

A pocket door makes privacy easier without sacrificing precious floor space.

If a totally private compartment isn't possible, look into designs that include a half-high partition that can be tiled the same as adjoining walls or a tall, hinged screen covered in fabric that coordinates with your room scheme. If the toilet is located in or near a corner, these solutions may be an acceptable compromise.

Exercise Room

You're going to jump into the shower right after you exercise anyway, right? So why not bring the exercise equipment to the bath area? That's the philosophy behind today's new exercise room baths.

If your space is big enough, it may be right for you. Plan to put all bathroom fixtures on perimeter walls, and offset the door to allow space for one or two pieces of exercise equipment in the free area. Make sure you're not blocking the door or access to bathroom fixtures: Measure the space required for normal use of all equipment, and give them plenty of berth. Specify nonslip floor tiles to guard against slipping due to perspiration and bathing, and plan systems for ample ventilation, too.

Laundry Room

While many laundry appliances have come out of the basement and up to the mud room or kitchen, others are being located near where dirty clothes first accumulate: the bedroom or bathroom. If you and your mate are alone in the house, you may want to put the laundry equipment in your master suite; if you share the house with children, you may prefer to house it in the kids' bathroom or a nearby guest bath.

Laundry appliances can tie into the same water supplies as the bathrooms, and preferred flooring -- nonporous, nonslip tile -- can be extended for both to create a neater look. If space is scanty, you may opt for a stacked washer/dryer unit, although these handle smaller loads than a typical family creates.

Allow for plenty of overhead storage, preferably enclosed, for laundry supplies as well as hampers or other storage for sorting clothes. A pocket or folding door easily conceals the whole works from the rest of the bath, but you may want access on both ends of the laundry space so that laundry facilities can be used without going through the main bathroom area.

Adjacent Closet

Closets between a bedroom and a bath make sense, and a dressing room area lined with roomy closets, all located next to a bath, is an even greater luxury you may want to consider. You might find part of the necessary space in a hallway closet, an unused area of the bedroom, or even a corner of the bath, provided they're contiguous.

This is one place where telling your architect, contractor, or designer what you want can really pay off. They'll be on the lookout for ways to shoehorn extra closets into even a tiny space for you. Once the basic space is in, consult a professional closet design firm, or explore the closet fittings section of your local home store for ways to maximize the closet space you have. You'll surely find ideas that work in the rest of your closets, too!
