PROJECT POLLUX THAT WAS LAUNCHED AT THE FACILITY IN OSS JUST RECENTLY , IN AUGUST 2020 , HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLD . THIS IS THE SECOND IN THE NEWLY RESTYLED 55-METRE STEEL CLASS THAT FEATURES A NEW LAYOUT TO EMPHASIZE HER VAST INTERIOR VOLUME OF APPROXIMATELY 760GT .
12 guests can be accommodated in six staterooms , with the 82 sq . m owner ’ s apartment on the main forward deck and the VIP apartment on the bridge deck . The four spacious and luxurious guest suites are located on the lower deck .
Pollux is the tenth project of Heesen in collaboration with the British studio Bannenberg & Rowell that created the interiors . As this yacht was not made to order the designers had carte blanche . The eventual result is a sophisticated and harmonious design .
For Project Pollux , the British studio worked to the shipyard ’ s brief , which called for style that combines bold solutions with a casual appeal . Dark eucalyptus and pale sycamore joinery , with chevron parquet flooring in the main saloon , create the perfect background for the eye-catching bar installation , incorporated into the joinery on the starboard side , as well as the softly radiused panelling . Geometric shapes , natural tones , and tactile finishes used throughout the interiors make Project Pollux a yacht with strong character and wide appeal .
The layout of Project Pollux has been carefully considered . Thanks to the tenders and toys conveniently stored on the foredeck for easy operation and access , the space in the transom has been dedicated to the beach club . Large outdoor areas will allow guests to make the best out of their time onboard . The vast sundeck , of no less than 100 square
