Zuccon International Project announces a new partnership with Bluegame

Rome-based architecture firm Zuccon International Project has entered into a new partnership with Tuscan shipyard Bluegame to collaborate on the restyling of two of the shipyard’s historic models.

The new agreement further supports a three-year partnership between Zuccon and Bluegame’s parent company Sanlorenzo Yachts - following almost three years of collaborating.

The combined forces will begin by tackling the restyling operation of sport utility boats BG40 and BG60 – designed by Bluegame founder Luca Santella in the early 2000s.

Starting out with the idea of consolidating the design philosophy of the two original models, architects Martina and Bernardo Zuccon, daughter and son of the studio’s founder, who are working with Santella, have rewritten the style of the two boats and strengthened the initial concept.

In a recent release, Bernardo stated, “We’re very enthusiastic about this partnership, because we think a captivating story can still be written about these designs: the Bluegame models are extremely up-to-date products that retain their powerful functional and stylistic appeal, even though they were created over 10 years ago.”

Both the entry level BG42 and the BG62 are defined by “life on board” that is predominately outdoor, offering an entirely deck-based experience. The concept originates from the world of sailing yachts where Santella began his career, and is a characteristic that the architects at Zuccon have decided to highlight further.

The firm’s work will focus on diversifying the ways the exterior spaces can be used, without neglecting the liveability of the night area. This extends into the interior layout with the intentions of improving their versatility.

The two restyled models, which will be launched this summer, will receive their official debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September. As well as these models, the partnership is also working on other projects to extend the range.
