NEW 2026 Leopard 53ft Power Catamaran
NEW 2026 Leopard 53ft Power Catamaran
I had the privilege of leading the interior design for the new Leopard 53ft Power Catamaran, built by Robertson and Caine in Cape Town, South Africa.
Working closely with the shipyard’s engineers, I focused on thoughtful space planning to create natural flow and comfortable living across the various available configurations, along with careful selection of materials and fabrics for a calm, durable, contemporary feel. This extended to designing custom joinery and upholstery, planning effective lighting, producing detailed 3D renderings and animations, and developing intuitive digital switching graphics.
The result is a serene, practical, and quietly luxurious interior that feels welcoming and well-suited to life on the water—something I’m quietly pleased contributed to the Leopard 53’s character as a capable blue-water power catamaran.
With multiple layout options, seamless indoor-outdoor flow, and robust construction, the Leopard 52 carries forward the DNA of her award-winning predecessor, the Leopard 50.

2025 Leopard 52ft Sailing Catamaran
As the interior architect for the 52ft Leopard Sailing Catamaran (developed in collaboration with Robertson and Caine and Leopard Catamarans), the project involved leading the full interior design process. This included strategic space planning to maximize livability and flow within the catamaran's layout, custom joinery design for durable and elegant cabinetry and millwork, careful material selection prioritizing marine-grade durability alongside premium aesthetics, tailored upholstery design for seating and soft furnishings, sophisticated lighting design featuring indirect and accent options to enhance ambiance and functionality, and detailed 3D visualizations and animations to effectively communicate the vision to clients and stakeholders. The outcome delivers a contemporary, luxurious interior that balances refined elegance with the practical requirements of blue-water sailing and extended cruising.
