Where imagination becomes form.
Marc Palacios is a naval architect and yacht designer working between Barcelona and Southampton. Trained at the Facultat de Nàutica de Barcelona and currently completing a Master's in Superyacht Design at Solent University, his practice lives at the intersection of two disciplines that rarely speak: the numerical precision of naval architecture and the quiet elegance of exterior design.
Experience inside the engineering departments of Feadship and AMELS has shaped a body of work defined by restraint, material honesty, and narrative-led decision-making. Every vessel begins with a brief — an owner, a stretch of water, an intent — and every line that follows answers to it.
Every project begins with a question: who is the owner, what waters will this vessel meet, and what intent must the design answer to. Concept before geometry.
Drawings, calculations, mock-ups. The exterior language is resolved through the same rigour as the hydrostatics — because a line that fails structurally was never beautiful to begin with.
From first pencil stroke to quayside delivery. The full translation of idea into object, where material honesty and engineering precision meet without compromise.
