Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture have presented their latest concept, the 94 metre motor yacht, Purity. Aiming to create a modern and elegant long-range yacht, the design is the result of rigorous research into usability, elegance and a clean design.
Often wind can be bothersome while residing on the fore decks of a yacht. Azure’s design team became intrigued with the thought of a yacht with extra-large leisure areas aft. Therefore the front of the yacht lends itself to protection against the elements, whilst aft has been designed to enjoy the surroundings and water activities. Purity’s lines form a slender and light superstructure with the intention to be beautiful through use of clean shapes and proportions, without further adornments.
Her typical ‘explorer vessel’ proportions create extremely large aft decks, in comparison to yachts of similar size. The aft bridge and owners’ deck are partially glazed to illuminate interior spaces below, like the main salon and the lounge. These glass decks create exciting vertical sight lines, connecting activities on all decks. The stern hatch can be closed when underway to limit access to the main deck. When the stern door is opened however, guests are directed through the beach club to the stairway leading up to the main deck. This extended route was created to keep the main deck aft, which features a large swimming pool, free of traffic. The floor of the pool can also be raised for use as extra deck space or for a helicopter. (Helicopter with max. D-value of 14.30m) Scroll down for more information.
In her current layout Purity boast a separate owners’ deck with stateroom, office and lounge. Furthermore she has 6 spacious guestrooms bathed with light entering through the hull windows. The salon and diner are illuminated by the skylights. The natural light will make the interior appear even more spacious. Her beach club also features a lounge, gym and a wellness area for optimal relaxation.
Purity will be presented in more detail at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show 2014.
