"We are very pleased with the results of this project because we helped our client convert their vision into a reality," says Ben Shirazi, President, VIP Completions and President, SmartJets.

The YODEZEEN team brought an unprecedented degree of sophistication to this project and our long-standing partners at Duncan Aviation did an excellent job with exterior paintwork. All told, we are proud to deliver this uniquely elegant aircraft to our valued client in just eight weeks."
"We work with architecture and design in various dimensions. From residences and resorts to yachts and jets — we approach every project differently, appreciating its nature and challenges.
