Principal, Dee Robinson Interiors
With some 200 new yacht construction and refit projects to her credit, Dee Robinson is certainly a defining force in the world of luxury yachts. Her portfolio ranges from 70-foot semi-production models to 180-foot completely custom steel yachts. Dee Robinson has long been at the cutting edge of her profession. At Hatteras of Lauderdale, for example, Robinson broke new ground in the 1980s developing customized, high-end, turnkey interiors for production yachts. Her more recent projects include high-speed yacht fishermen, composite and aluminum tri-deck semi-displacement motor yachts and full-displacement, ocean-going mega yachts meeting the highest standards of MCA certification.
Dee Robinson Interiors also creates designs for custom residences. In addition to several waterfront homes, she has designed a grand luxury apartment in Boca Raton and a Palm Beach townhouse. Her most recent success is a Ft. Lauderdale apartment where she designed a unique luxury environment where the clients live among their fabulous collections of art, wine and Formula 1 racing gear. The residences she has designed for her clients -- many of whom also hired her to design their yacht interiors -- have been an exciting departure and allow design on a completely different scale.
The Design Center of The Americas honored Dee Robinson with a Stars of Design Award January 24, 2007. The Stars of Design Awards recognize the very best in Florida-based design talent. As the recipient of the inaugural award in the Yacht Design category, Dee Robinson Interiors will continue to set the standards by which other yacht designers are measured. Winners of the 2007 awards were selected by a distinguished design panel of renowned professionals and members of the national, regional and South Florida media.
