Their lead came about not only from hard work, but also in virtue of the dual soul symbolized in the two words that compose the studio’s name: passionate about everything that pertains to client relations and the more romantic aspect of a job that always begins with a pencil and a blank sheet of paper; experimental and technological about the use of advanced software for everything down to the smallest detail.

In the heart of Milan, where artistry and innovation converge, the creative team continues to shape the seascape with its breathtaking yacht designs.

With two decades of excellence behind them, Hot Lab looks forward to a future marked by continued innovation, unparalleled luxury, and a commitment to crafting vessels, private residences and luxury hotels that stand the test of time. For clients who are proud to own a Hot Lab designed product.

The studio has received several international awards, including many World Superyacht Awards and ShowBoats Design, in addition to the World Yachts Trophies and Finest Interior Awards.
