Heesen has announced a first-time collaboration with Luca Dini Design & Architecture on Project Gemini, the sixth yacht in its 55m Steel range, and the only 55m yacht available in The Netherlands at present.
The Italian based design firm have matched tay wood, decorated glass and natural stones with leather wall panels and fabric lined ceilings. Combined with extensive use of glass throughout in the form of floor-to-ceiling windows, the interiors are bathed in an abundance of light and afford wonderful views.

This sense of light is embodied in the main saloon where two large bronze mirrored ceiling panels reflect light around the room. A cosy lounge area is set in the center with a formal dining area for 12 adjacent.
Project Gemini also features a full-beam sky lounge. With its bar, TV, panoramic views and understated accents of metal, marble and glass it is an oasis of calm and ideal for relaxing and socializing.
A 110 square meter sundeck, complete with Jacuzzi surrounded by large sun pads, a central bar, oval dining table and built in sofa will be a favorite spot for many.
Omega Architects penned the muscular exterior lines and there are plenty of spaces to enjoy life outdoors.

Whilst the bridge deck aft terrace is equipped for al fresco dining and lounging and the main deck aft terrace is a great spot for pre-dinner cocktails. For the ultimate place to relax there is a fully fledged wellness area accessible via the beach club.
Project Gemini will accommodate 12 guests across six staterooms, the highlight of which is the full beam Owner’s suite on the main deck with floor-to-ceiling windows, an abundance of space and a beautiful en-suite dominated by a freestanding black bathtub. Elsewhere two twin and two double suites are on the lower deck, while the VIP cabin is located on the bridge deck.
