Fran Silvestre Arquitectos has completely modernized the Turkish schooner in its monochrome style.
Fran Silvestre Arquitectos has revolutionized the design of the 66-foot (20m) Turkish schooner, which was previously used as a freighter for regattas and fishing.
The refurbished sailboat, named Topaz Braye, houses 4 en-suite cabins, one of which is designed for two crew members.
The new ventilation system ensures excellent air circulation.
As the experts of Fran Silvestre Arquitectos note, their approach to this project is no different from the approach to working with historical buildings.
