Don’t Stop Believin’
“Another consequence of the generous beam is that it gave the owner room to play. Aside from the guitar amp plug, New Journey has customizations that reflect how husband and wife enjoy spending their time at sea.
“They worked closely with Scott Cole of Seattle's Ardeo Design to come up with something that fit their laidback collective spirit. One of the more remarkable of these design choices is seen on the main deck, devoid of a formal dining room.”
“‘My favourite feature on this boat is the bar,’ [Scott] says. ‘It’s unusual [for a boat] because it has eight barstools so the owners can cook and entertain like they do at home, with their hanging out at the bar while dinner is being prepared.’”

The Winners Issue Part 1
"This year's International Yacht & Aviation Awards saw Nordhavn's Lacey Kay as the worthy winner of the Power Yacht 25-40M category.
“...A huge selling point for the Lacey Kay is the fact it maintains megayacht styling, luxury and the capability to travel the world, all within a manageable 30 meters. Scott Cole, of Ardeo Design, was responsible for the interior design of the project." - Page 44

Lacey Kay: The petite but plucky Nordhavn explorer yacht
“The interior colour palette is greige with touches of dark brown, creating a clean, contemporary and understated look. The interior is the work of Scott Cole, who was approached to do Lacey Kay’s styling because he had designed the owner’s previous Nordhavn 76. ‘The owner was very hands on throughout the project and has a genuine enthusiasm for design,’ says Cole. ‘He has interests in the metals industry and asked if he could incorporate stainless steel inlays in the interior architecture. My answer was “absolutely”.’
“Chromed stainless steel strips were fabricated and plated in the US, cut into strips and shipped to Xiamen. The inlays feature throughout Lacey Kay’s interior, adding an industrial feel to doors and joinery on nightstands and dressers.”

Time for Tea
"When the owner of a 23.1m Nordhavn decided to upscale to a new 29.2m motoryacht, they returned to US-based designer Scott Cole, president of Ardeo Design, to create the interior. The brief required a design that combined the character of the owner's current yacht with metallic and natural materials, as the designer explains." - Page 71
