From Vision to Reality: How VOX Turned a Boat into a Floating Restaurant

When the vision for a floating restaurant came to VOX Furniture, it was nothing short of a thrilling adventure. The challenge? Convert an ordinary boat into an elegant, eco-friendly, and contemporary space on the water. Situated in the dynamic city of Abu Dhabi, the project demonstrated VOX Furniture's proficiency in fusing imagination, cutting-edge materials, and meticulous design to create a unique masterpiece.

The Dream Begins with VOXBOX

Every great project starts with a vision, and at VOX, this vision took shape with VOXBOX - our cutting-edge 3D room design platform. The client had the opportunity to explore the boat's interiors in a 3D environment and even experience it virtually through VR glasses. This innovative approach allowed them to see every detail and make adjustments before the actual work began, ensuring the final result was perfectly aligned with their vision.

Designing for a Unique Environment

Crafting interiors for a floating space like a boat is no ordinary task. The design team at VOX faced challenges such as adapting to the vessel's movement, ensuring materials could withstand harsh marine conditions, and optimising the space for functionality and comfort.

The project incorporated exterior wall panels like Fronto Facade Panels and Infratop Ceiling Panels, which are visually stunning and highly practical.

  • Fronto Facade Panels: These panels were selected because they are lightweight and strong, and they can withstand extreme heat and humidity without losing their structural integrity. Their smooth polish gave the boat's appearance a dash of contemporary elegance.
  • Infratop Ceiling Panels: These panels brought practicality and style to the interiors. They are perfect for a floating restaurant because they are heat-resistant, waterproof, and fade proof.

These exterior wall panels, which were ideal for Abu Dhabi's hot environment, ensured the restaurant could withstand the weather without losing its visual appeal.

Warm, Modern Aesthetics

The design palette embraced golden oak tones, creating a warm, inviting ambiance. This classic touch blended seamlessly with the modern elements, reflecting the client’s desire for elegance and coziness. Every detail, from the sleek facade to the finely finished ceilings, was meticulously planned to elevate the space’s visual and functional appeal.

Sustainability at the Core

One of the project's main pillars was sustainability. Hence, all the materials used were completely recyclable and long-lasting, demonstrating VOX's dedication to eco-friendly design. This eco-friendly strategy did not sacrifice flair, proving that luxury and environmentally responsible decisions can coexist.

A Dining Experience Like No Other

VOX Furniture's dedication to excellence is demonstrated by the floating restaurant. Here, guests may enjoy fine dining while watching breathtaking views of Abu Dhabi's coastline.
