Marie Meko
Senior Interior Designer
Luxury at Sea
The Floating Oasis project was a 201-foot yacht refit to bring in an updated, sea-worthy style, as well as better function for the new owners, charter passengers, and the captain and crew—who were most familiar with the yacht and its current limitations. Gabberts Design Studio Senior Interior Designer, Marie Meko, took on the challenge of creating an impressive-to-behold, yet quietly functional design.
