Design and build for the installation of a Kinetic Ceiling on MSC Europa, and Production of content for the website Twaxis.com
The Brief:
To provide an unique decorative solution to add motion and interest to a ceiling space over a busy open atrium area on the new MSC World Europa Ship. As the installation would be situated on the ceiling 3 stories above a busy passenger atrium, reliability of the mechatronics and minimising maintenance cycles were critical design considerations.

My role in the project was to assist in the planning and adaption of the design for manufacture in house, manufacturing and testing. I also produced visual content including a fully working technical animation of the patent pending gimble design to present to the client and to advertise the design for future clients.
