Having worked on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solace57.0m (187'0&quot;)Feadship2005">Twizzle</a>’s original design during his tenure at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/61" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RWD (Company)">RWD</a> in 2003, he returned to the yacht nearly two decades later at the request of her new owner; a young, highly informed yachtsman with a clear vision. “I had a real love affair with this boat,” John recalls “I learned an enormous amount from her build the first time around. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solace57.0m (187'0&quot;)Feadship2005">Twizzle</a> was the catalyst to a series of future yachts and returning to her, I wanted to honour that legacy. Fortunately, her owner is extremely well informed, with fantastic taste, which created a solid foundation for the design. He was also keen to honour that heritage and to bring back some of the magic that made her such a successful project originally, which was a real pleasure for us.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390100/image/large-cd9b61446f17ed474a24fc76f4934b01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390100">The original brief was, on the surface, relatively contained; a 20-year special survey, technical rejuvenation and a considered refresh to support an ambitious family world tour, all while preserving the yacht’s underlying character. With the yacht originally conceived as a world cruiser and having sailed every ocean over the course of her life, preparing her for another global voyage was a natural continuation of that legacy. As planning progressed, the project gathered momentum, evolving into a far more comprehensive refit. The scope expanded to include a complete interior redesign alongside refinements to the general arrangement, notably the addition of a supernumerary cabin and a sauna. A full repaint was undertaken, complemented by an extensive mechanical programme that introduced forward-facing sonar, additional storage solutions and polar compliance, among a series of further enhancements.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390088/image/large-572885fba9ebdf3de67f82c9bb015e94.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390088">The introduction of the additional cabin was among the earliest decisions, with John sketching it into the original port-side tender bay during his very first inspection of the yacht, even before contracts were in place. A second key structural intervention focused on the transom, where the owner sought greater space and improved day-to-day functionality at sea level, particularly for children. The answer came in the form of a substantial swim platform extension, enhancing both the yacht’s proportions and her practicality, while creating a more generous, family-oriented waterside environment. Complementing this, the lazarette was reconfigured to accommodate a sauna – a detail that, for the owner, was an essential part of the brief.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390886/image/large-bbef239b92e8202517f6edd20cd26ea6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390886">Designed for familyThe refit also placed strong emphasis on how the yacht is used socially. Two new bars were introduced: one within the main saloon and another on the sundeck, each designed to feel like a natural extension of the yacht’s existing architecture rather than a ‘bolt-on’ addition.In the main saloon, the bar occupies the port-side position previously given over to a substantial cabinet, allowing it to be established as a permanent and purposeful feature. When integrating the bar into the existing scheme, programme constraints meant that, rather than extending the original cross-grain walnut, John and the team elected to use woven leather to form the body of the bar, topped with a marble surface selected to harmonise with the saloon’s restrained lighting palette. The result is a composition that sits comfortably within the existing structure, providing an elegant counterpoint to the stairwell balustrades on the starboard side and reinforcing the saloon’s sense of balance and cohesion.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390887/image/large-6e5c6a83e106589e0cf19407e1aa753a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390887">One of the standout features of the main saloon is the freestanding globe opposite the bar made by Bellerby Globe Co. that features the client’s destined world tour route engraved across its surface. Julie Baron from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4540" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vickers Studio (Company)">Vickers Studio</a> explains, “The globe was one of the first items the client chose, developed with the makers over a six month period and he was very clear that it was to be one of the fundamental features of the main saloon.” Like the globe, the client's choice of art is a striking feature of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solace57.0m (187'0&quot;)Feadship2005">Solace</a>’s final design, with pieces from artists such as James Turell and Yves Klein, to Asger Jorn and Picasso accompanying the owner’s own photography throughout the interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390108/image/large-a478c4ca15234684b6e2569b4f66c800.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390108">Like the art, the client was also deeply involved in the furniture selection throughout the interior, with the Vickers’ team visiting many contemporary makers and antiques auctions around London alongside the owner, to select special pieces that aligned with the mid-century modern interior styling. Many of the antique pieces were then reupholstered, such as the Ponte chairs in the main saloon, using spectacular textured fabrics that pull the entire design together. Particular standout materials include the patterned headboards in the staterooms, the twin blue armchairs in the upper deck saloon and a monochromatic tiger print sofa in the study, all of which were selected by the team alongside the client.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390099/image/large-ce705583256f86999be4cb3ebf485f4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390099">Meanwhile, the upper deck saloon has been redesigned to create a particularly intimate atmosphere, with low-backed sofas and generously proportioned cushions set into the window boxes, maximising the natural light from her large windows. Lighting also played a central role in the refit, with the finished interiors showcasing just how transformative the scheme has been. While all LED lighting was replaced throughout, John returned to John Cullen, the same firm responsible for the yacht’s original lighting in 2005, and invited lighting designer Sally Storey back to rework the scene settings. Notably, Twizzle was Storey’s first yacht project, lending the collaboration yet another fitting sense of continuity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390111/image/large-f743c676a3a9cf1f688d29d1a8ce0d2c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390111">On deck living redefinedExternally the sundeck arrangement has been refined so that the space reads as an inviting, practical terrace rather than a deck dressed for show. A previous coffee-table arrangement was converted into a formal dining set-up, creating a more useful zone amidships. A new bar was added aft, finished with a marble top, a simple teak kickback and custom bar stools, reinforcing the deck’s role as a social hub.On the bridge deck aft, the dining table was enlarged to seat 14, an explicit response to the owner’s intention to cruise with a large family aboard for extended periods. Deep, comfortable corner seating was also introduced to improve lounging and forward views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390092/image/large-1038c4ed24b7c51eec448288fa78443e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390092">At main deck level, the removal of a bar improved circulation and created a stronger ‘welcome moment’ when guests step onboard, opening the aft area for drinks and conversation before moving inside. Custom blue upholstery was selected for the loose furniture on the aft deck that ties in beautifully with the armchairs in the upper deck saloon, adding to that continuity of design that flows throughout the yacht.Tying these exterior updates together is a new exterior colour palette. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solace57.0m (187'0&quot;)Feadship2005">Solace</a> now presents with an off-white base and a dark superstructure tone that carries a subtle brown warmth, designed to shift character in different light and provide a more sophisticated visual temperature than a colder monochrome.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390090/image/large-ba3d4374529ee39cf309e79b63871dc5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390090">For John, returning to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Solace57.0m (187'0&quot;)Feadship2005">Solace</a> nearly twenty years after first working on her design offered a rare opportunity to close a creative circle. “Few designers get the chance to revisit such a familiar yacht, let alone with an owner so closely aligned in vision and taste.
