Design of habitable spaces on small passenger and recreational craft
Abstract
The article discusses modern approaches to the creation of habitable spaces on small vessels intended for recreation, tourism, and passenger transportation. It is indicated that it is more correct to talk about habitable spaces than about the interior of the vessel, since these spaces can be located on open decks. Their design is divided into layout and styling. Before starting the design, it is necessary to perform an analysis of the functions on board the vessel, after which proceed to the dimensions of the spaces, and only then determine the dimensions of the vessel and its exterior. Additionally, the issues of safe layout and injury safety, lighting design are considered. Design techniques are provided to hide possible visible defects and provide a view from the premises. The work of the designer on the style and the order of presentation of the design project documentation is shown.
