The project was completed in phases, with components fabricated off-site and installed in stages during the yacht’s global itinerary. The layout includes a living area, dining space, kitchen, and bedrooms arranged within a compact footprint, with built-in elements integrated into the curved envelope of the ship. Materials include wood paneling, woven textiles, and custom cabinetry developed to fit the interior geometry. Studio Ahead’s interior incorporates a collection of custom and commissioned pieces, including sculptural lighting, bespoke seating, and artisanal furniture. The design integrates storage and functional elements into continuous surfaces, with concealed compartments and multi-use features distributed across the plan. The suite forms part of The World, a [residential cruise ship](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/residential-cruise-living) composed of privately owned apartments that travel globally throughout the year.
