Heesen has announced the sale of YN 18050, Project Alba, with Arne Ploch of Camper & Nicholsons introducing the buyer.
Project Alba is a 50m semi-displacement motoryacht that began its construction on spec in March this year at the Dutch shipyard’s facility in Oss. She is currently in the aluminium workshop with delivery forecasted for January 2018. She has been sold to experienced owners who will have considerable input into the remaining design and fit out.
The exterior work is being completed by Omega Architects and the interior work will be carried out by Italian designer Francesco Paszkowski, his third collaboration with Heesen Yachts.
"We created the interior design with Margherita Casprini. It combines contemporary aesthetics with a classic layout to reflect Heesen’s heritage. We played with contrasting colours, light and dark, and lacquered surfaces and finishes to further emphasise the airy brightness of the interior. Natural leather and stone were chosen to create a warm and welcoming ambience and provide a coherent style throughout the yacht", commented Franscesco Paszkowski.
