Golden A' Design Award Winner 2025
Onur Kiren's Project Nazare Sailing Yacht presents itself against an expansive maritime tableau, its elongated hull rendered in luminous pearl white and warm champagne tones that catch the diffused daylight filtering through a high atmospheric ceiling of soft cirrus formations stretching across a cerulean sky gradually deepening toward the horizon line positioned at approximately the lower third of the composition in accordance with classical proportional systems. The vessel occupies the central horizontal band with commanding presence, its sleek profile creating a powerful directional vector from stern to bow reading left to right, the sweeping sheerline describing an elegant parabolic arc that speaks to contemporary naval architecture's dialogue with aerodynamic principles. The towering mast, rendered in sophisticated gunmetal grey, bisects the upper register with geometric precision while its attendant rigging creates a delicate filigree of tensioned lines against the atmospheric gradient, establishing visual rhythm through repetition and angular counterpoint to the vessel's predominantly horizontal orientation. The hull demonstrates masterful surface articulation through subtle tonal modulations suggesting compound curves meeting at precisely resolved chines, while a dark accent stripe at the waterline provides chromatic punctuation separating the pristine superstructure from the deep Prussian blue waters below. The sea surface exhibits controlled textural variation through rhythmic wavelets catching ambient light as scattered highlights of cool silver-white against the predominant cobalt depths, creating optical texture without disrupting the compositional serenity. A dark bimini canopy provides tonal counterweight to the luminous hull, its horizontal geometry echoing the yacht's overall profile while creating visual shelter over the cockpit area. The furled mainsail wrapped in charcoal covering introduces additional formal interest through its cylindrical volume, while a small pennant at the stern provides an accent of movement and identity. Atmospheric perspective operates subtly through the gradual desaturation and value lifting toward the distant horizon where sea meets sky in a soft transition rather than hard delineation, creating infinite spatial recession that emphasizes the yacht's position as the singular protagonist within an unbounded natural theater.
Inspired by the waves of Nazare in Portugal, this 24meter sailboat offers a modern design with a metallic gray hull and black and orange details. The seating areas on the open deck integrate with the main design lines and provide comfort and functionality for guests. The panoramic glass roof illuminates the interior, which can accommodate up to 10 guests, with natural light. The tender garage at the stern transforms into a swimming platform. The elegant hull increases speed and stability, while the advanced sail system ensures maximum efficiency from the wind.
