Design Details

Unique Properties
This project will present the next generation of Superyacht for UHNWI [ Ultra High net worth individuals]. Estrella provides a dynamic experience to people by dividing the hull wings into three volumes. By providing different views of Mediterranean Sea, they understand the Surroundings. Also, it can make intimate experience with nature by providing innovative layout.
Inspiration
Superyacht design has been constantly changed for many years. It is possible to do anything within operational and safety constraints if there are imagination and the owner. In other words, creating innovation architecture depends on owner and the designer. There are over 5,000 Superyacht in the world, however, the number of yachts which are visible are small. Traditional and practical design is influential in yacht industry. However, fresh design can break down the boundaries at times.
Research
Looking back through history, there had existed a lot of transportation around us, such as horse, carriage, motorcycle, bicycle, car, airplane and ship. However, over the last few decades, people have wanted to include these things to their leisure and life. These days, People exercise by bicycle and enjoy driving. A lot of different transportation are acting as sport. Above all things, Yacht or boat industry has got limelight for future- oriented leisure. Countries where national income is over $20,000 has developed yacht and boat industry and many people enjoy sailing yacht and boat.
Challenge
It was hard to make 3D surfaces by using Rhino. In order to show my idea clearly, it takes long times to do it.
Realization and Technology
By applying Cantilever to my concept, it might be concerned about the balance. Y concept yacht could cause the balance problem because two side hulls attached on both ends of the main hull. This concept can lead to a leaning centre of gravity on both ends. There is a ship stabilizers system, Fin stabilizers, to solve this problem. By setting the Fin stabilizers on both sides of the centre hull, it can counterbalance all hulls.
Operation and Interaction
This is ‘Tri swath yacht’ and inspired by Cantilever architecture. Estrella was applied to the Y shape and provides a dynamic experience to people by dividing the hull wings into three volumes. By providing different views of the Ocean, they understand the surroundings. It can make an intimate experience with nature by providing an innovative layout.
Project Duration and Location
From September 2018 to May 2019 in the UK.
