Adam Lay

Adam gained a Bachelor of Arts degree from Coventry University in 1995 and his technical and artistic expertise is discernible in designs that have safety, seaworthiness, longevity and timelessness at their core. Adam produces elegant hand drawings but with the efficiency that’s required to design to a deadline.

Kelda Lay has a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Master of Science degree in Cognitive Neuropsychology. Her psychology background has a big impact on the studio’s design philosophy. Biophilic design (taking inspiration from nature to fulfil the human affinity for the natural world), the use of natural materials and healthy interiors to promote wellness are priorities.

The studio has iconic yachts such as Salperton, Endeavour, Lady Kathryn V, Inukshuk & Haida as part of its diverse portfolio. A wealth of experience in all aspects of design from exterior styling, space planning and integration of structure and technical systems to interior design, joinery, upholstery and objects d’art, is evident in the variety of design styles successfully undertaken to-date.

Since 2003, Adam Lay Studio has been building a reputation for award-winning creative design coupled with a discreet, honest and conscientious approach.
