Abstract
This master thesis describes the project performed at Damen Shipyards Gorinchem. Several qualitative research methodologies were applied to draw conclusions towards the comfort for captain and crew on board tugs and workboats. By means of generative sessions, design proposals were made and discussed to get to the final concept of mess room redesign based on user's latent wishes and demands.
