Bannenberg & Rowell Design

Bannenberg & Rowell is an award-winning superyacht design studio based in Fulham, with an impressive portfolio including the stunning 39m Feadship yacht Kathleen Anne and 47m Heesen yacht Elandess 2.

The Bannenberg & Rowell team is headed up by Dickie Bannenberg and Simon Rowell. Dickie Bannenberg spent some 15 years working alongside his late father Jon and is determined that the second generation Bannenberg office should continue the creative trailblazing path first ignited by his father in the early 1960s. Simon Rowell has been Creative Director at the studio since 2003 and ensures that every piece of work leaving the Bannenberg studio is of the highest quality.

Bannenberg & Rowell aim to give clients the freshest and most creative work around. This is underpinned with an office armed with tried and tested systems for drawing delivery, specifying and budget control.

The Bannenberg & Rowell team develop concepts into visuals, renderings and sample boards using detailed hand drawings or computer renderings. Throughout the design process, they ensure that clients are fully updated with detailed and transparent budget schedules, supporting clients through the journey of creating their new yacht through design meetings, visits to the shipyard and liaison with suppliers and subcontractors.

Most clients want the studio to be involved even after delivery, so when there’s a need for something new, or something to replace, they can take care of that, too.
