Project Overview
A klipper transformed into an industrial-luxe loft — featuring black steel-framed glass rooms, a glazed roof and a stepped oak platform.
Antoinnete (Klipper)
Rooms drawn in steel and glass beneath an open sky, a warm oak stage rising from polished concrete and a weathered bar at its heart.
Industrial by nature, softened with oak and light.

An industrial loft under a glass sky

Antoinnete is a klipper whose interior takes its cue from the harbour around her. Instead of hiding the industrial character of a working ship, we leaned into it: black steel-framed glass volumes define the rooms, and a long glazed roof pours daylight deep into the hold, so the space feels like a workshop turned home.

A stage of oak on concrete

A stepped oak platform with integrated drawers rises from the polished concrete floor like a stage, combining seating, storage and a change of level in one piece of joinery. A characterful weathered bar with high stools anchors the space and gives the loft a social heart, softening the steel and glass with timber that has a story of its own.

A cabin below the waterline

Below, a floor hatch opens onto an oak stair that leads to a lower cabin with a black ceiling and brass wall lights. French doors open straight onto the water, turning the most hidden room on board into one of its best. Industrial by nature, softened with oak and light.
