Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The aim of the design was to create a modern yacht with timeless elegance with focus on the proportions to keep the profile low. The 77-metres Atlantico is a yacht with extensive outside areas and great interior spaces, which enables the guest to enjoy the seaview and be in contact with it. There is an outside pool together with a 7 m interior pool. The yacht has a hybrid propulsion.
- Inspiration
- This 77 metres concept yacht has its focus on proportions and modern elegance taking inspiration from elegant yachts bow with modern design. The project aims at timeless beauty.
- Research
- The research began in the nautical sector comparing various yachts/ships, passing through cars, planes, architecture and nature. It was important to fully understand the market and the product itself before drawing my vision. The final aim was reaching green technology and elegant design in the same product, having in mind the future design.
- Challenge
- The inspiration comes from transportation design and nature. To integrate with nature, and sea in particular, you have to be in contact with it, an aspect achieved thanks to glass and multiple folding balconies integrated in the hull and hybrid propulsion cutting pollution, noise and vibrations. One of the hardest part in the exterior design is creating sinuous lines with aluminium giving it a robust and curved aspect at the same time. Above all elegant and modern.
- Realization and Technology
- This project is in a concept phase but aluminium construction is planned, both hull and superstructure. In this way you can reduce weight and consumption, and consequently pollution. Furthermore using hybrid propulsion systems, clients are able to visit remote and protected areas only with electric propulsion at low costs and vibrations.
- Operation and Interaction
- This project is a pleasure yacht and it is operated by a trained crew living aboard offering various services, from captain to specific crew operating helicopters and tender boats. Thanks to folding balconies, garages and platforms it can transform when not in motion. Atlantico is made in aluninium to reduce weight and consumption, thanks to this the speed is higher and the draft reduced. The yacht can be operated in fully electric mode to have low vibrations/noise and zero pollution. Features are: light materials; eco-friendly; double-height spaces, interior-exterior connection and holistic design.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project has been drawn in 2019.
