A DUTCH shipyard has unveiled designs for a "futuristic" superyacht that could rival any luxury penthouse apartment.
The 280ft superyacht, called Haven, boasts glass ceilings, layered upper decks and large windows to give the illusion of a grand top-floor suite.

Designed by Felix Chapman-Sheath, of CS Yacht Design, the vessel is expected to be sailing the high seas in 2035.
With a tiered wedding cake-style structure, passengers are spread across five decks.
There are six guest cabins, which provide accommodation for up to 12 passengers.
While 25 crew are accommodated across 13 cabins.
As sustainable superyachts become increasingly popular, Haven is set to be powered by green methanol.
The net-zero yacht sports a natural theme, with wooden slats and hints of blue.
"For the interior, I was inspired by a futuristic and alternative approach, challenging the norms of yacht design, similar to that of Tecomar's This Is It catamaran", said Felix Chapman-Sheath, of CS Yacht Design, who conceptualised the vessel.
The open-plan living area is kitted out with palm fronds, stylish furniture and a semi-floating staircase.
Guests may also enjoy a unique 'Zen garden' on the main deck, which is completed with skylight at the centre.
Deep Sea Dreamer: The World's Most Luxurious Submarine Superyacht
The space is situated directly in front of the master suite, separated only by a large sheet of glass.
The master bedroom features an off-centred bed with epic views of the sea.
There is a separate sofa area, desk, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe and dressing area.
In terms of speed, Haven will reach a maximum of 18 knots and will cruise comfortably at 12 knots.
This is roughly at the lower end of the scale for average superyacht speeds.

Biggest skincare trends for 2025 Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025. 1. Exosomes Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing. 2. Streamlined Skincare The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results. 3. Vegan Collagen Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums. 4. The Rise Of AI AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level. 5. Hair Loss Solutions - Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health. Shoppers were eager to find the beauty bag for themselves after seeing Nicky's post on the Facebook group ,Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK. One person wrote: "Brillaint buy, love mine." Another commented: 'My store has sold out." "I was there first thing 8am to get mine on Thursday," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Got one yesterday... some lovely things, and just in time for holiday." "I got one on Thursday. It's really good. Worth the money and no minimum spend,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'I got this in store. It's great. Definitely worth the money."

Our lives have been ruined by a sickening smell – it's lowered our house prices and it's about to get even worse
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NEIGHBOURS of a KFC drive thru have warned Britons of the "awful" reality - with disgusting smells, litter and reckless delivery drivers. It comes as the fast food chain has announced a £1.5 billion expansion plan, with 500 new stores set to hit the UK over the next five years. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 The drive thru opened in 2017 after years of protests from locals Credit: Ian Whittaker 10 Neighbours of the store complained of rubbish littering their street Credit: Ian Whittaker 10 One resident, Tim, has refused to eat there in protest Credit: Ian Whittaker 10 Some residents have found the smell 'overwhelming'. Pictured: Dean Ferguson Credit: Ian Whittaker They hope to rival the growth of other chicken shop chains like Popeyes and Wingstop. In addition to its 500 new stores, they will upgrade 200 of their existing stores, as well as taking on managers, chefs, and newly created 'guest experience' roles. Residents in West Wickham, London have warned against the expansion plan, citing littered streets and disgusting smells as just some of the issues the company brought to the area. The site has undergone many transformations over the last decade or so - beginning as the beloved White Hart pub before becoming a taperia, a steakhouse and, as of 2017, a KFC drive thru. Read more News AIR SCARE Passengers injured on Ryanair flight after being thrown against cabin roof It is particularly problematic for the residents living on Cavendish Way, as many of their gardens back on to the fast food restaurant's car park. During the planning process, over 1,200 residents launched a campaign against the proposal. The proposals were submitted twice, facing significant backlash throughout, before they were approved by Bromley Council, setting a regrettable precedent that 'if you just persevere you can do anything' according to retired city worker and local Tim. Once approved, Tim said that they completely changed the site - chopping trees down, filling in a pond, and covering the site in tarmac. He now refuses to visit the site in protest. Tim said: 'I don't mind a KFC but I refuse to use that one.' Beloved chicken chain that's 'way better' than Popeyes announces it's now adding 20 new locations to lineup When his daughter and her now-husband stayed at his house, they were under strict instructions not to visit that particular store. His frustration with that specific branch, which is located off a roundabout at the top of Cavendish Way, stems from the litter and smells. Tim said that he has seen people drive onto their street to eat the food before throwing their rubbish out of the window, sometimes littering his drive. While the store 'said they would send someone out to keep the road clean', Tim said, 'they haven't done that.' Catherine Carol, who lives opposite Tim, has experienced similar issues. She said: 'It's bloody awful. I came home yesterday and there's a load of rubbish on the street by my house - they don't clear up after themselves. 'We have got masses of boxes around here. It's disgusting.' In addition to the rubbish, she said the KFC has made it difficult to enjoy the summer weather, with residents of Cavendish Way's gardens facing the drive thru. She said: 'In the summer you can smell the grease and oil.' From when the store opens at 10.30am, until it closes at 11pm, residents are subjected to the smell of oil, grease, and fried chicken, as the wind carries the smell into their gardens. It left Catherine saying: 'I wish it wasn't there.' Neighbour Dean Ferguson, 62, has found the smell particularly difficult to deal with. He said: 'The noxious smells you get drafting across at peak times can overwhelm you.' Like Tim, he has seen people parking on their road to eat the fast food before 'launch[ing] it out the side of the car.' He added: 'It's really disgusting, people don't seem to care.' This is an issue he foresaw when the proposals were initially submitted, as he was one of the many residents to object to the plans. 10 Resident Devin Parmar, thinks the expansion will be good for the country Credit: Ian Whittaker 10 Some residents aren't bothered by the smell. Pictured: Philip Charsley Credit: Ian Whittaker 10 A retirement village faces the KFC, affecting resident Derek Avent Credit: Ian Whittaker He said: 'I did object to it several years ago. I could see what was going to happen.' Even when it isn't open, 83-year-old Derek Avent said: 'There's a 24-hour smell that just doesn't go away.' Derek lives in the retirement village on the opposite side of the KFC. He said that his ground floor flat is ruined by the smell, particularly on summer days when he opens his window. Derek added: 'On a sunny day like today when I open the window it's all I can smell, and it's bad.' Another issue Derek highlighted is the increased traffic caused on quite a small road. Delivery drivers are a particular concern for retirement home residents as he said: 'All you see going there are just guys on bikes with the big boxes for delivery orders, and they have no care for motorists or people walking nearby.' Dean said that traffic is especially bad during peak times, like on a Friday, which can 'create quite a bit of congestion.' Not all residents are as put off by the fast food chain though, as Devin Parmar, 41, said: 'It's actually a selling point - I like the smell.' He added that 'it's really convenient' and that ultimately he is 'glad it's there.' Devin did acknowledge the risk of increased litter with the chain's expansion, however, he said: 'that's more on people throwing rubbish on the floor, not throwing it in a bin.' As long as KFC provides adequate bins and accounts for successful waste management as part of the expansion, Devin thinks it will be a good thing, and the members of the community should learn to take care of their litter. With the news that the store expansion could create 7,000 jobs, Devin said it was nice to see 'a chain… actually investing in the UK which is a good thing' especially 'at a time where people are complaining about cost of living and unemployment rates.' Philip Charsley, 60, shared a similarly positive mindset. He said: 'To be honest I haven't had any problems with it. While he admitted you do 'occasionally get a smell', he said 'it's no worse than somebody that's having a barbecue.' His main issue with the chain is that 'it's just not good food' as he would rather cook from scratch than indulge in the deep fried food. While most residents seemed to agree that its former occupants were better, they were also more apprehensive about what could replace the KFC if it ever shut down. Tim initially expressed a hope that 'it might close down' as he noted it's 'never really that busy.' However, he said: 'The worry now is if that does fail, what do you get next? A McDonalds or a Burger King? I just don't want those sorts of places.' Slightly further down the road is a McDonalds drive thru that Philip says 'causes major traffic issues,' leaving him grateful that the KFC is not very busy. 10 Houses on Cavendish Way back on to the drive thru Credit: Tony Kershaw 10 Motorists will park on the road and throw their rubbish out of the window Credit: Tony Kershaw 10 Residents want KFC to prioritise waste management during the expansion Credit: Tony Kershaw Long-term residents seem more put-out by the addition to their suburban neighbourhood, while Philip and Devin, who moved to the area four and six years ago respectively, were more positive. With an average Tripadvisor rating of 1.7, visitors to West Wickham's KFC complain of rude staff, soggy fries, and incorrect orders. While the new initiative could provide new job opportunities, residents of West Wickham empathise with Britons across the country who might be feeling apprehensive about the chain's expansion. Despite Devin's positive attitude, he did acknowledge that 'litter and pest issues will be the main concern for residents across the country as it could cause issues in each of the bubbles near each location.' A spokesperson for Bromley Council said: "Permission was granted for this development over a decade ago, which followed the usual process for determining Planning applications and considered all representations, including from residents, received at that time. "We have had few complaints relating to this property, but residents can raise any concerns, which will be investigated through our Planning or Public Protection Enforcement teams as required." We have approached KFC for comment.

I ditched the UK to live on a cheap island with my kids – I was sick of splashing cash on nursery fees and bills
Scroll down for tips to make moving house easier EXPAT ESCAPE I ditched the UK to live on a cheap island with my kids – I was sick of splashing cash on nursery fees and bills Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM has shared how she ditched the UK for sunny Thailand with her kids and husband. Lauren took to social media and shared why she left England and has no regrets in uprooting her family to South East Asia. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Lauren left the UK and swapped it for sunny Thailand Credit: 3 Now they spend their days island hopping and relaxing by the beach Credit: The mum-of-two revealed that she and her family decided the cost of living and their busy schedule was too much. Instead of putting up with it, they sold their house and bought a one-way ticket to Thailand for a new life. She said: "We didn't leave because we hated the UK. "We left because life started to feel like one long checklist we didn't remember choosing. Wake up. Rush. Work. Nursery. School. Bills. Repeat. "We wanted more presence, more connection, more sunsets and slow mornings. "So we sold almost everything, booked a one-way ticket, and figured it out as we went. "It's not perfect, but it's ours, and we've never felt more free." Lauren often shared her new life in Thailand on social media and recently shared one of their favourite breakfasts while they stayed in Koh Samui. She headed to one of her favourite food vendors and ordered fried chicken and sticky rice before getting some Thai milk tea. The mum even said that she thought the iced tea was better than English Breakfast tea. 3 The stunning island is perfect for families Credit: Alamy Gobsmacked shoppers watch on as hungry elephant raids Thai store and leaves with trunk full of snacks The mum added: "Hands down they are better than an English breakfast tea. They're sweet, they're icy. They do give you that little tea fix." She said the next step to the perfect breakfast was to locate the nearest beach. "The beach closest to our house here is Chong Mon. And if you are coming to Koh Samui, even just on holiday, I really recommend this area," Lauren said. "It's kind of like a mix between touristy but not too touristy. Moving house hacks 1. Declutter Before You Pack Sort through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. Donate, sell, or recycle items to lighten your load. 2. Create an Inventory Make a list of all your items. This helps keep track of everything and ensures nothing gets lost in the move. 3. Use Quality Packing Materials Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and packing tape. This will protect your belongings during the move. 4. Label Everything Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs to. This makes unpacking much easier and more organized. 5. Pack a 'First Day' Box Include essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, snacks, and important documents. This will keep you from rummaging through boxes on your first day. 6. Take Photos of Electronics Setup Before unplugging your electronics, take photos of the wiring setup. This will make it easier to reconnect everything at your new place. 7. Use Suitcases for Heavy Items Pack books and other heavy items in rolling suitcases. This makes them easier to transport and reduces the risk of injury. 8. Colour-Code Your Boxes Use different coloured stickers or markers for each room. This will help movers quickly identify where each box should go in your new home. "The beach here is so good for kids because the water is really shallow." Finally, she and her family sat down on the beach to enjoy their breakfast with a stunning view. The clip went viral on her TikTok account @lifealongsidelauren with 120k views. People were quick to take to the comments in awe of Lauren's new life. One person wrote: "Living the dream, I would swap my builders' tea in England for yours any day of the week." Another commented: 'I have been following for a while just wanted to say that because of you and your TikTok my future with my kids will look the same!" "I haven't seen your posts for ages, glad you're still enjoying your new life," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Brekkie on the "Love watching your adventures! We are coming to to Thailand in August and can't wait,' claimed a fifth. Someone else added: 'Such an inspiration."
