About Hermes Jahta

Hermes se odlikuje s sodobno zasnovo, stranskimi okni in mehkimi tekočimi linijami. Stranska okna ustvarjajo tesno povezavo z okolico, odsevajo vodo in naravno svetlobo podnevi, medtem ko se ponoči osvetlijo z obodnimi LED lučmi, ki poudarjajo silhueto. Vitke oblike spodbujajo učinkovitost, medtem ko mehka osvetlitev ustvarja toplo, udobno vzdušje ter zagotavlja zasebnost in prefinjenost. V spodnjem delu pramca sta dve kabini, opremljeni s posteljami za nočitve. Zgornji del steklene strehe se lahko odpre z električnim sistemom.

Production Technology
The yacht design was developed using advanced 3D software, allowing for precise modeling and visualization. The exterior features large panoramic windows, enhancing the connection with the surrounding environment while providing ample natural light. We selected lightweight, durable materials such as fiberglass and aluminum to ensure optimal performance and aesthetics. The production process combines CNC machining and handcrafting techniques, allowing for intricate details and high quality finishes, ensuring both elegance and functionality in marine environments.
Design Challenge
The most significant challenge faced during this design activity was integrating sustainability with luxury. Balancing high performance materials with eco friendly options required extensive research and experimentation. Internal factors included navigating historical design conventions in the yacht industry, while external factors involved regulatory compliance and the availability of advanced sustainable materials. Overcoming these obstacles required collaboration with material scientists and adherence to evolving environmental standards, ultimately leading to a more innovative and responsible design.
Research
This mixed methods research explored sustainable materials and efficient design for modern yachts using both qualitative and quantitative data. Surveys, interviews with experts, and hands on prototyping provided insights, with digital modeling tools and workshops involving yacht designers, engineers, and enthusiasts. Findings emphasized user centric design, enhancing comfort and functionality, while promoting sustainability and innovative solutions in the marine industry.
Inspiration
This yacht is a true reflection of modern design, inspired by the world of fashion and the meticulous study of material combinations. The sleek, seamless lines are reminiscent of haute couture, while the use of glass and metal creates a striking contrast, blending luxury with innovation. Each detail is carefully crafted, showcasing a refined balance between aesthetics and functionality, much like a tailored masterpiece.
Project Duration
The project commenced in January 2023 in Milan and concluded in June 2024 in Venice
Operation Flow
The yacht operates through a user friendly interface, allowing for seamless navigation and control of its advanced features. It transforms from docked mode to cruising mode with retractable systems, including the keel and sails for optimal performance. Key interaction points include the helm for steering, touchscreen displays for navigation, and automated systems for managing onboard amenities. Enhanced hydrodynamics reduce drag, improving speed and fuel efficiency, while the innovative design facilitates better weight distribution, resulting in superior stability and comfort during voyages.
