The Benetti Oasis 34M was designed to best exploit her spaces, especially outdoors. The exterior design is by RWD, interiors by Bonetti & Kozerski
by Marco Mariani
Oasis 34M, like her big sister of more than 40m in length, has her distinctive element in the Oasis Deck, an architectural solution designed by Benetti presenting five peculiar features.
Two wings that open out on either side, an integrated infinity pool with glass side wall surrounded by a sunbathing and lounging area, a 270-degree view aft, uninterrupted by railings and sofas, a seamless connection with the interiors, and a social design that makes the entire deck into a glamorous oasis of social interaction.
The exterior styling was created by RWD, while the interiors are signed by Bonetti & Kozerski, the New York-based architectural firm that specialised in residential and hôtellerie projects.
For the exterior lines, the UK firm chose an elegant vertical bow and a sleek outline that slopes gently down to the water, broken only by the wheelhouse with its vertical windscreen.
The dining area is located on the upper deck and is served by a convenient pantry. Connected with the galley on the main deck through a dumb waiter, it opens up onto a stern terrace with sofas and armchairs. Another outdoor dining area is located on the sundeck.
The floor-to-ceiling windows form part of the overall design and alternate with the counter-curved hull features. Even car design contributed to some of the features, inspiring the grilles in the hull walls and the silver trim.
THE MASTER SUITE OCCUPIES THE ENTIRE FORWARD SECTION
OF THE MAIN DECK AND CAN BE FITTED WITH AN ADAPTABLE TERRACE. THE BED SEEMS TO FLOAT IN SPACE.
The Oasis 34M develops over three decks, with a large sun deck with a hard top and multiple other outdoor areas. All decks can be accessed through unobtrusive stairways, freeing up the stern terraces for unfettered visual contact with the water. The interiors connect with the stern terraces through two curved sliding doors.
