The Client
The Quintessential Yachtsman
The Quintessential Yachtsman is Patrick Knowles’ lifestyle brand, spanning yacht, aircraft, residential and bespoke product design alongside the caviar and vodka of Yacht Life Brands.
The Brief
Patrick’s world had outgrown a single business. A design firm, two consumable brands and a point of view about living well needed one address that tied them together, for an audience that expects quiet rather than noise.
What We Built
- 01
An editorial one-pager
- Nine sections, from the philosophy and a curated world of five disciplines to the founder, the table and the press.
- Antique gold on near-black, set in Cormorant Garamond and Montserrat, with a minimum type size chosen for legibility.
- 02
Editable without a developer
- The hero image and the five discipline tiles are driven by one small file the client’s team can edit.
- If that file is ever broken, the page quietly falls back to its defaults instead of breaking.
- 03
Enquiries
- A single enquiry form at the foot of the page, so every route through the site ends in one place.
The Results
- Live since August 12, 2026.
- Hero and tile images change by editing one file, with no page edits.
- A press section was added in October 2026.
