Overview: The house is approximately 100′ above the surface of the White Rock Lake and was completed in 2014. It was elevated in order to separate the living spaces from the street and all the traffic and noise. Another reason was to expose the house to the beautiful views. Continue reading →

Overview: A totally unique superyacht, with panoramic windows, shell doors, in-out swimming pool. This yacht has a generous pool, extended at the infinity end by a decorative waterfall and equipped with a current generator. There is the option of a rising pool floor to extend available deck for banquets and parties.
The dining room caters for up to 20 guests in banquet configuration. Additionally, there is a smaller dining area catering for up to 12 guests, and set-up to double as a conference area. Both these facilities are available at the main deck adjacent to a dedicated library and writing room/IT room.
The yacht is equipped with a variety of offices, including a ship’s office, owner office, guest writing room and adjoining secretary’s room, ship’s office communications and navigation, staff office, etc.
There is a dedicated cinema room which can convert to an additional private saloon.
In addition to a spectacularly large guest gymnasium surrounding the glass walls of the transparent pool sides, there are steam room, sauna, massage, hair and nail and medical facilities, as well as “his and hers” changing areas. Further, there is a dedicated crew gymnasium.
There is a helipad facility at the foredeck.
The yacht has a total of 11 double guest cabins, so potentially can cater for up to 22 guests. The owner’s cabin is sited in an exclusive owner’s deck, and enjoys his and hers changing rooms and bathrooms, as well as a private owner’s lounge. There is also a spectacular full beam VIP cabin with his and hers changing rooms and bathrooms. Six of the guest cabins can be consolidated, such that rather than just a cabin with attached ensuite bathroom, they would also end up with an integral private saloon and additional his or hers ensuite bathroom. All other guest cabins also have generous ensuite bathrooms. Additionally, there are 14 double crew cabins, all with ensuite bathrooms, catering for up to 28 crew.
In addition to the pool, there is a spectacular hot tub/Jacuzzi at the owner’s deck, as well as a further Jacuzzi within the VIP quarters.
This quite unique yacht was conceived by Ken Freivokh Design in response to an enquiry from Dunya Yachts with the stated intent of achieving the optimum layout and facilities possible at the size whilst retaining a strong and bold appearance quite distinct from the current crop of more conventional yachts in the 85 to 95m bracket.
The purposeful look is a direct result of developing large panoramic glass on key internal spaces, to achieve a powerful balance between the steel structure and the transparency of the glazed curtain walls and bulwarks.
The yacht has been conceived to truly open to the sea – key real estate areas at the lower decks are devoted to the enjoyment of the water, garaging of an amazing collection of tenders and toys, large expanses of beach and gym facilities which open on all sides with shell doors creating extended bathing platforms – all surrounding an all glass swimming pool spanning two decks.
Whilst handsome guest facilities have been created to offer a wide variety of saloons, conference areas, office and IT dedicated areas, secretarial facilities and entertainment and sport areas over two decks, the higher decks provide a number of more private saloons and finally, the owners enjoy a 100% private top deck, with 360 degree views all round. The owners stateroom is completely private, enjoying forward and side views, whilst the associated owner and family saloon opens to a private deck aft. A further saloon can be accessed at bridge deck level.
In addition to 13m and 10m Pascoe limousine tenders, there is also provision for a Pascoe 7.5m tender and 6.2m rescue and utility tender, in addition to garaging for jetskis and other water toys. The transport facilities are further enhanced by a helipad forward and more than 50m of docking facilities which make this unique yacht a great entertainment and partying platform.
Technically, the yacht is a veritable tour de force, with dedicated computer and monitoring areas, and the efficient propulsion package provides excellent speed and range, further enhance by the extended waterline length extended by the elegant and purposeful plumb bow.

Overview: Originally, this site situated in a rural area outside Ballarat in Australia was occupies by an early 80s house with an A frame design and only two bedrooms.
The architects’ interest in the “interplay of materials, light, form and detail” materialized in a modern design which cantilevers over the hillside and offers beautiful views over the tree canopies from the upper levels.
An imposing fireplace with firewood storage built into the supporting structure adorns the main lounge area. Huge windows and sliding doors open the area to the exterior and, at the same time let in the natural light emphasizing spaciousness.
The dining area on a slightly raised plan. Surrounded by wood paneling and featuring white beams with an interesting geometric structure, this area feels particularly warm and welcoming. Of course, huge windows offer it views of the surroundings.

Overview: Najade is a large, modern and fast vision of the actual decks house performance cruisers.
Important is clean, well-organized deck, all captive winches are covered under the main deck with an easy access for maintenance, anker and mooring gear is also hidden under the fore deck. A large tender is sheltered in the aft garage at the transom.
The decks house is not recessed as on many boats at that size. Here the main deck has one level.

As a standard, the main helm station is on the sun deck, but if the captain needs to steer from inside, a fully equipped wheel house is in front of the dining area. Further the sun deck incorporates a 4 person jacuzzi and sun beds for lounging while enjoying the sail.
The inner general arrangement of the lower deck offers besides a spacious crew area four generous guest cabins with en-suite bathrooms, a luxurious owner’s suite with a dressing room as well as his and her bathroom. Furthermore a comfortable TV lounge and a gymnasium take care of guest entertainment on this deck. The interior of the main deck provides an airy salon area and a forward dining next to buffet and bar.
The unusual full height windows to both sides of salon and dining allow the surrounding elements of sea, wind and sunlight to flood the space and to complete the interior philosophy with its natural beauty.
