If you want your new private jet to look and feel like a hotel penthouse in the sky, then London’s premier design studio Andrew Winch Designs (AWD) might just have the solution for you.
Under a partnership with CBAJet of China, AWD is creating a series of bespoke aircraft interiors inspired by London’s most luxurious hotels.
Titled Project Mayfair - in reference to the exclusive district in the UK capital – the schemes will be offered for both Boeing and Airbus narrow-body jets.
“This is a fantastic opportunity to design a unique and bespoke aircraft that will offer personalised decoration and accessories, whilst maintaining a consistent interior architecture in a BBJ (Boeing Business Jet) or ACJ (Airbus Corporate Jet) configuration,” Andrew Winch says.
“One of the key advantages of Mayfair is that it will offer clients their own design, but also a reduction in cost to buy, engineer and design and a short turnaround time from purchase of a green aircraft,” he adds.
The Mayfair experience is described as a bespoke creation, a personal space of luxury and comfort. It merges a Saville Row attention to classic British elegance with international business-club sophistication. Whilst offering the time-saving benefits of a pre-prepared design, Mayfair has all the hallmarks of a unique, fully-customised VVIP aircraft.
A flexible but repeatable layout configuration provides a singular platform for engineering and out-fitting the aircraft cabin, and a shorter turn-around time to operational delivery.
The bespoke materials and tailored detailing offer an uncompromising palette to the owner’s individual taste and personal expression.
Mayfair is defined by sophistication and dynamic elegance, just as the new breed of luxurious London hotels which inspired its conception, says AWD.
The aircraft’s interior and exterior concept are unified to create maximum “ramp presence” and an arresting, youthful aesthetic throughout the multi-space cabin.
The use of angled interior bulkheads immediately creates an impressive entrance vestibule, and emphasises the generosity of spaces further inside the “flying apartment”.
In the concept images released by AWD, the main cabin space includes a circular dining table and circular bar area, whilst the adjoining lounge area is a highly usable and flexible space.
The interaction between “light and dark” architecture draws the eye to the intimacy of the bar feature - spot-lit by a skylight - and beyond to a multi-functional office-dining-cinema-bedroom space.
A fully appointed master suite and bathroom complete the layout.
Materials used for Mayfair include dark high-gloss veneers, golden onyx, Qing upholstery and leatherwork, satin almond gold fixtures, and Loro Piana cashmere.
AWD will also accommodate a client’s request for specific materials and textures.
Project Mayfair, concludes AWD, is “your penthouse in the sky”.
