We are delighted to announce the sale of YN 19255 Project Pollux , the second in the newly restyled 55-metre Steel class, which offers spacious accommodation for 12 guests in six staterooms. Pollux is the tenth Heesen interior penned by British studio Bannenberg & Rowell. This project commenced on speculation and Bannenberg & Rowell were given free rein. The result is a calm and sophisticated look.

Guests are welcomed into the main saloon through powered glass sliding doors. This elegant space is finished in a pair of contrasting timbers – eucalyptus, pale eucalyptus and dark stained eucalyptus. A chic Chevron floor serves as the perfect complement. Full height joinery elements include bookcases on the port side with storage below, and on the starboard side an integral bar unit.

Forward, the lounge area offers guests far-reaching views of the outdoors through floor-to-ceiling windows and open bulwarks. Adjacent to the seating area forward, the formal dining seats up to 12 guests. Additional full height windows flood this space with natural light and unparalleled sight lines. Walking forward past the entrance lobby, the owner’s suite occupies a generous 86 square metres. This vast space offers a secluded haven for the owners to work, relax and rest away from guests. Floor-to-ceiling windows open onto the sea and surrounding nature. The detailed finishes continue the soft and broadly light-toned palette of smoky grey finished eucalyptus and the same continuation of the Chevron pattern in smoked oak. That same knocked-back palette continues through into the his-and-her bathroom where Thassos and Laurent Gris are the chief marbles used to create a luxurious feeling. Some interesting textured limestone completes the diverse offering. The overall effect is calming yet not anonymous and refined without being pretentious. Four spacious guest cabins are found on the lower deck.
