‘epiphany’ by andy waugh is a 130 meter superyacht with a bold silhouette influenced by the simplification of the yacht form and emphasized by contrasting colors. it uses minimum lines and structures to create a dramatic effect belying its practicality and large volumes of accommodation. the bridge of the vessel is unusually situated on the upper deck providing commanding views, a fold down, a fold down wing-bridge is utilized to retain the pure aesthetic of the rising bulwark. aft of the bridge and main central lobby is an owners library and balcony overlooking a double height lounge on the owner’s deck below. the vast owner’s deck extends further forward with a stateroom with increased ceiling height and skylights, alongside open views towards a private foredeck with seating areas and a jacuzzi. aft on this deck there is an owner’s private cinema as well as an imposing owner’s office with space adjacent for personal assistants or important staff members to work in when visiting on business.

below are four VIP cabins each with balconies. other features on this deck include a cinema and gaming area as well as a fully equipped gym and spa. the main bar opens up onto the aft deck accommodating the formal, al fresco dinning area. despite the radical appearance of the ‘epiphany’, andy waugh designed the main deck relatively conventional with communal areas and guest cabins. low bulwarks along the entire deck use full height glass to give an enhanced sense of openness and space. the aft deck hosts the main swimming pool and sun lounging area which converts into a helipad when needed.
