Alba's saloon in warm late afternoon light, looking aft. A cream leather sofa with navy and patterned cushions wraps an oak dining table on a brass pedestal, under a long window that curves up with the roof and looks out over a river with trees and a church spire. Pale oak panelling, an oak floor with a woven runner and an oak sideboard with a brass lamp on the right. Aft, the galley with an oven, hob and oak cupboards opens through a wide doorway onto the aft deck seating and the river beyond. Close to the brief.

The drawings

4 sheets
Side cutaway, bow on the left. Below, from the bow: the main bedroom, the ensuite, steps up to the saloon, the second bedroom under the saloon floor, and the shared bathroom. Above: the saloon with its convertible sofa and table, then the galley. A bulkhead closes off the engine room aft, where the twin diesels sit under the aft deck with V-drives turning the shafts back. The helm and seating sit on the aft deck under the hardtop, with the platform at the stern.

Deck plans, bow on the left. Main deck: a skylight in the foredeck, then the saloon with a sofa, table and steps down, the galley with a hob and a sink either side at its aft end, and the aft deck with the helm and seating under a dashed hardtop outline, and the platform beyond. Lower deck: the main bedroom forward with the ensuite beside it, the steps, the second bedroom and the shared bathroom amidships, and the engine room aft with the two engines side by side.
02 · Deck plans
Three interior elevations in pale oak. The saloon looking to port: a long window band curving up with the roof, a sand leather sofa with an oak base and a table in front, which together convert to a double. The galley wall: lockers above with the microwave in one, a two-ring hob and a sink on the worktop, and an oven, a cupboard and a fridge below. The main bedroom looking forward: a skylight in the ceiling, a thin hull window, the raised island double with room either side, and the ensuite door.

The aft deck helm drawn front-on, under the hardtop on its slim pillars. A navy cowl and a pale oak dash with round speed, fuel and revs gauges in sand-gold bezels, a navigation screen in the middle and two throttles on the right. Below is the deco wooden wheel with a sand-gold hub and spokes. The dash is drawn to match Notte Blu's; the concept doc only fixes the wooden deco wheel and the place under the hardtop.
