We are used to seeing luxurious private jet designs.
Even by those standards, a private jumbo jet that feels and looks like a luxury five-star spa retreat is quite something.
No fuss, because Greenpoint Technologies has done all the thinking with the concept for a Boeing Business Jet Max 8 (above).
Residential, marine, and aviation design has picked up how hella trendy it is these days to bring the outdoors inside, creating a natural feel and aesthetic with giant windows, integrated transitional spaces, progressive technologies, and elements that mimic a flowing river.
Sounds like heaven on Earth.
Greenpoint Technologies’ “Retreat” interior design project does all that and more, per Robb Report, even nabbing a finalist award in the Society of British & International Design Awards and winning an International Yacht & Aviation award.
This is what the design team has managed to do in 95-square-metres of interior sky space:
Greenpoint realized the desired effect by keeping the high-tech amenities air travelers expect tucked away in customized cabinets that blend into the flowing design. Hard, shiny fixtures and surfaces with curving profiles and pod-like swivel chairs add to a space-age feeling, but everything else about the space goes towards a sense of nature and relaxation.
The outboard walls are covered in organic LED monitors that project videos of the destination or the views from high-definition cameras mounted on the exterior of the plane. The ceiling, comprised of individual panels, has a high-gloss metallic finish designed to mimic a flowing river.
Of course, there are also live plants and internally lit terrariums all over the place, too – you know, for those earthy aromas that can help even the most hardcore businesspeople chill out.
On top of all that, design elements like sustainable oak, tactile velvets, and scalloped details are in the works, alongside organic greenery and soft LED lighting to create the ultimate atmosphere of rejuvenation.
The jet has a large stateroom, two baths, and two large seating areas with a capacity for up to 18 guests.
As you can imagine, Retreat would likely surpass a cost of $100 million a pop.
Fair enough.
