The ingenious glazing floods the vessel with natural light.
That’s not Slice’s only architectural anomaly. At the heart of the vessel on the main deck, there is a monumental atrium featuring cascading circular balconies. It’s kind of like a futuristic take on the inside of the Guggenheim that sets the tone for the rest of the decidedly modern living quarters.Penned by Dutch designer Marco van Ham, the interior pairs a subtle, neutral palette with a range of shiny and matte materials.
Outside, meanwhile, Slice is equipped with a 33-foot, multi-level pool on the aft deck that Feadship says was designed using “data science.” Basically, the designers researched the best place to put it to prevent the water from sloshing about while you’re cruising. Elsewhere, there is a passerelle that pops out at the touch of a button, a forward tender garage, a large beach club, a sky lounge, a Jacuzzi and a number of open-air lounges.
Feadship has been producing fully engineered concepts for more than a decade to inspire future owners. Slice, which marks the yard’s 11th design, is available for immediate construction and could be delivered as soon as 2027.
