The 32.27m Sorvind is the fifth unit in Southern Wind’s 105 mini-series. The yacht is the result of the expertise of Farr Yacht Design, who took care of the yacht’s naval architecture and Nauta Design, responsible for the exterior and interior Design with the help of Jeroen Machielsen from the Dutch Studio Hermanides for the interior decoration.Nauta worked on the refinement of the deck geometry of Sorvind, making lines and shapes sweeter, more pleasant and contemporary (i.e., the coachroof lines have been made less mineral and sexier) and in the interior décor Jeroen Machielsen of Studio Hermanides provided a “Nordic” touch that the owner was looking for.Sorvind features the tried and tested RS (raised saloon) configuration, which allows guests sitting in the saloon to have the surrounding scenery in direct sight thanks to ample hull windows that let natural light fill in and illuminate the interiors.The deck design is similar to previous SW105s, although some details of the coachroof design and geometry have been modified to feature softened chamfers and radiuses for a sporty yet elegant look. A dodger, bimini with removable side panels and a boom extended awning, protect and shade the guest cockpit and the sunbathing area.The hull shape of the SW105 series by Farr Yacht Design is characterized by a narrow bow, fine waterline entry and optimized transom shape for a sleek, aggressive look that is accentuated by Sorvind’s jet black hull.The interior color scheme has been created by Jeroen Machielsen of the Dutch studio Hermanides, who signed off the décor. Because of the owner’s Nordic origins the color palette is inspired by the northern landscape: long dark nights combined with bright white snow for a cozy look and feel that is also fresh and welcoming. The owner’s suite is located forward of the saloon for maximum privacy with a VIP cabin close by and two guest cabins aft of the saloon (the twin beds of the starboard cabin can be converted into a double bed) for a total of eight guests.The saloon amidships is a light and bright open space where a full complement of guests can relax in comfort on sofas or around the dining table. Immediately forward of the living area is a fully equipped custom bar that separates the main saloon from the owner’s private area. “Distinctive, refined and essential: these were the pillars of my vision, reflected in my lifestyle and instilled in every detail of my yacht,” says the owner. “I wanted a sailing yacht that could still be in touch with the ocean, a sensation that sometimes gets lost with bigger boats. I think we really hit a nice size of boat and a great style. Everything is uncluttered, smooth and clean.”Southern Wind is a boutique bluewater sailing yacht shipyard founded in Cape Town in 1991. Since its foundation, SWS has specialized in the production of semi-custom high-performance superyachts. Nauta Design was founded by Massimo Gino and Mario Pedol in 1985. Their design included the yachts for Southern Wind, projects with Baltic Yachts, but were also asked to create motor yachts of all sizes (up to 180 m) such as the exterior profile of the Lürssen megayacht Azzam.Credits: Giuliano Sargentini/Nauta Design

Tommaso Spadolini designed a 650 sqm three-storey villa, nestled among the hills overlooking Lake Lugano. The interior and exterior areas were inspired by the world of yachting. The villa was made for the entrepreneur and influencer Serena Spinucci, co-founder of the Milaner brand which markets a careful selection of clothing and accessories produced by the best Italian artisans. Her son Giovanni dealt with the architectural work. “I met Serena and her husband in 2011, because they were friends of an Italian owner for whom I was following the refit of a yacht,” says Tommaso Spadolini. “It was on that occasion that they asked me to refit their yacht, Virginian, which was followed by the refitting of two more of the family's boats. After so much experience together, Serena kindly asked for my help in designing the interiors and arranging the outdoor areas of her new villa in Lugano.”The leitmotif of the project was immediately clear, both in the selection of colors and materials. Developed over three floors, the villa integrates perfectly into the hilly landscape overlooking Lugano and its lake. However, the original building had small windows. This was the first challenge: to connect the inside of the house with the outside as if they were one, so that the garden and the landscape would become an integral part of the villa. The large glass walls of the living room merge into a single environment with the surrounding garden.In the garden, Tommaso Spadolini and Serena Spinucci studied a layout that was at the same time elegant, comfortable, practical and that could emphasize the “green furniture”, the work of the Hortensia garden design company. “Together we have studied all the external paths that connect the swimming pool, the changing room and the relaxation area with television," explains Tommaso Spadolini. “By using the inclination of the hill slope, we placed a gazebo on the roof of the villa, which is at the same level as the swimming pool: when you sit down at the table to have lunch, it really feels like being on the flying bridge of a yacht!”Oak wood is the characterizing material of the interiors, prepared in different ways by the master craftsmen of the Del Curto carpentry in Chiavenna, where mock-ups of all the rooms were also created before they were set up in the villa.The interior furnishings are a skilful mix of modern and traditional styles, ensured by the presence of family furniture heirlooms, such as the large tapestry that dominates the wall of the dining room, flanked by two ancient rudders, which blend perfectly with the Mars round table, the Audrey chairs and the modern Golden Cloud chandelier designed by Paolo Castelli.In the living room, Promemoria large sofas and central coffee table create a fascinating contrast with the large antique carpet. The master sleeping area is on the same floor: the bedroom, which overlooks the lake directly through a large window, opens onto a terrace that is perfect for breakfast or relaxing moments.The sleeping area for children and guests is located on the lower floor, next to a spacious and well-equipped fitness area.Serena Spinucci, photo courtesy of Norman Rinaldi“Tommaso studied every detail with the expert eye of a naval architect and, thanks to his many years of experience, he understood our requests and needs perfectly,” says Serena Spinucci. “He really managed to create a welcoming environment that often makes us feel we are on board our own yacht.”Credits: Giovanni Malgarini
