Noblessner Design Awards 2014

Intro !Noblessner Ship Yard & Marina served as an example for designing a universal service model for small marinas. A model that would meet the expectations and needs of any yacht owner and sailor. !The project was executed in close cooperation with Small Harbor Association of Estonia and Enterprise Estonia (EAS).

What was the underlying problem? !

!Far too often the marinas are designed from the service provider's and frequent visitor's points of view. Thus making it relatively difficult for first time visitors to find, understand and experience all the expected places and services. !Especially given the fact that the needs of overseas travellers are far different from those of local yacht owners. !Already one negative customer experience can start a chain reaction of bad publicity in the sailors's community.
