INCLUSIVE LUXURY: MAKING MOTORYACHTS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL WITH STYLE

摘要

This paper will discuss a unique inclusive design approach that accommodates a bespoke wheelchair within a luxuryenvironment of a motor-yacht. The saloon seating area slides gracefully to allow the lift to raise the wheel chair from thebedroom in the hull. The bedroom has a larger shower room and resolved access to storage. This groundbreaking projectleads the way in de-stigmatising disability, moving boat design towards a more inclusive field and opening up thisleisure activity to an ever increasingly number of people with disabilities within our population.The material landscapes (the products that fill our environments) we construct within our personal lives and inherit inpublic environments have a significant impact upon our daily experiences. They affect our work productivity, ourfeeling of well-being, and sense of being socially connected. The material landscape shapes the perception of our ownindependence. People should be empowered by design, but are often stymied by things that have been designed poorly.
