FERRETTI’S NEW EXECUTIVE OFFICES AND HOSPITALITY SPACES IN ANCONA

The new executive office building of Ferretti Group’s metal superyachts division is part of a project to upgrade the Ancona shipyard, a benchmark in the luxury yacht industry and the Group’s multi-brand production hub.

This is where CRN metal super and megayachts from 60 to 95 metres are designed and built, along with the entire Custom Line made-to-measure composite range from 30 to 43 metres and the full-aluminium branded flagship superyachts: Riva Superyacht Division from 50 metres upwards, Custom Line 50 metres and Pershing 140. This strategic production site represents the state-of-the-art in terms of know-how and yacht design, with the highest standards of research, innovation, expertise and craftsmanship: values that have always been imprinted in CRN’s DNA.

The project to redevelop Ferretti Group’s entire Ancona Superyacht Yard was launched in 2016, focusing initially on the production sheds and then taking in the administration buildings and hospitality area. The first five years saw the construction of seven huge new industrial sheds with cutting-edge technological, comfort and energy systems (all the sheds have heating, cooling, air extraction, solar power and special production systems).

A key milestone in the shipyard’s strategic expansion project was the opening in December 2023 of the new administration building for Ferretti Group’s metal superyachts division.

The new multi-level building, covering around 4,200 square metres and accommodating over 150 employees, brings together the company’s identity, history and know-how in an innovative and highly recognisable industrial architecture project that combines aesthetics, functionality and sustainability in a workplace designed for wellbeing. The construction and decoration of these new spaces exude elegance, sophistication and expertise, giving owners and other guests an immersive experience that starts with the first exploratory meetings and continues throughout the entire journey of creating a pleasure vessel.

CUSTOM FURNITURE AND FURNISHINGS

The reception desk has a custom design that echoes the shape of a boat’s hull and is finished with an artistic resin front panel. This surface intersects with a smaller hull-shaped insert, giving a sculptural feel to a monolithic element that acts as a calling card for the building’s interiors. The wall behind it is clad in leather-upholstered blocks and strips of metal.

The gracious sideboard in the Capri Room, an example of contemporary cabinetry, is 3.5 metres long, with ribbed wood doors at either end, open metal shelving and a cast resin panel in the centre featuring shades of deep blue and purple. The contoured top is a single piece of solid walnut.

The perfectly symmetrical fitted wall unit in the boardroom is built around the central walnut door leading to the adjoining room. The doorway features flowing painted glass inserts and is framed by a solid wood portal. The two columns of niches, lined on either side by metal sheets and on the back by wallpaper, are surrounded by strips of LED lights.

The oval boardroom table, over five metres long, is custom designed and built with two half-moon feet and cable management for 20 attendees. The wood structure has a metallic finish, and the oxide effect top has leather edge trim. The fact that 1,200 hours were required for the fitting work alone gives some idea of the sheer scale of the cabinetry involved in the project.

The Portofino Room is in the same style and colour as the adjoining boardroom, creating a sense of continuity. The magnificent wall unit has a wooden lower section featuring three Ocean Storm marble clad doors in the centre. Above the painted glass top is a 5 mm sheet metal bookcase lined with linen-effect wallpaper.
