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.
"I believe in interpreting classic traditions for contemporary living. An exceptional life deserves an exceptional home."
As an award winning interior designer, Marie’s philosophy is an elegantly curated home, where you can live, enjoy, and entertain.
Marie's years of experience in extraordinary interior design with a classic European flair have resulted in her work being featured in the recently published books, Spectacular Homes of Minnesota and Palm Beach Architecture, as well as LuxDesign Magazine, Traditional Home, Lake Home, Midwest Home Magazine and Renovation Style. Her work has also been televised on HGTV's Room For A Change.
After spending a decade in Santa Monica working for a home builder, Marie returned to Minnesota, but travels regularly to furniture and fabric trade shows in Paris, London and Argentina, always seeking the best and most distinctive options for her clients.
Marie's reputation for working on exclusive and historic properties has led to unique projects including a world-class yacht and a personal aircraft as well as a hotel and winery in Croatia.
She understands that the collaboration between architect, designer and client ensures a successful project.
