Adam Lay Studio

Established in 2003 and based in Hampshire, England, Adam Lay Studio is an award-winning boutique design house specializing in bespoke superyacht interiors and exterior styling. The studio operates with a focus on one-off custom projects, working alongside premier shipyards and an international clientele to create yachts that reflect the specific interests of their owners.

The creative process is led by Adam Lay, whose technical and artistic expertise is rooted in a Bachelor of Arts degree and over two decades of experience. The design philosophy emphasizes safety, seaworthiness, and longevity, resulting in timeless aesthetics that integrate seamlessly with a yacht’s structural and technical systems.

While the studio utilizes modern efficiency to meet project deadlines, the principal maintains a commitment to elegant hand-drawn designs and direct personal involvement in every project.

The organization’s portfolio includes iconic yachts such as Salperton, Endeavour, and Haida, demonstrating a wide-ranging capability in both sailing yachts and motorboats. The team’s expertise covers all aspects of the design spectrum, from initial space planning and joinery to the selection of upholstery and fine art. This holistic approach ensures that the interior environment is not only visually sophisticated but also functionally optimized for life at sea.

Supported by Design Coordinator Kelda Lay, the studio has built a reputation for a discreet and conscientious approach to high-profile projects. By combining creative innovation with a thorough understanding of naval architecture, the entity delivers tailored design solutions that stand as enduring examples of quality and craftsmanship in the global fleet.
