The Design
About White Dragon 主要功能：巨型游艇
书籍文字：白龙号是一艘长达150米的巨型游艇，将有机雕塑与先进的海洋工程完美融合。其标志性特征是结构外骨骼——一个巨大的雕刻造型包裹着极简主义的船体，营造出流畅的轮廓线条。内部空间以"龙眼"为核心，这是一个多层圆形中庭，旨在将自然光引入船体的中心地带。除了美学之外，该设计还通过模块化光伏表皮整合了可持续技术。这一八层甲板的概念方案将私人双层船主静养空间与创新的健康中心融为一体。

- Unique Properties
- The defining feature of the yacht is an integrated structural exoskeleton- a colossal carved sculpture wrapping the minimalist hull. The centerpiece is the Eye of Dragon, a circular panoramic atrium creating a powerful connection to the sea, allowing natural light to flow through all decks via a vertical sanctuary of light. The dragon's scales form a modular photovoltaic skin, generating solar energy.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Technical Details
LOA: 150 meters (492 ft) Beam:25 meters.
Propulsion: Hybrid Hydrogen-Electric Pod Drives.
Key Features:Integrated 15m Helideck, Dragon's Eye central atrium with indoor garden, Observation Nest in the bow sculpture, and a revolutionary retractable mooring system hidden within the hull to maintain aesthetic purity.
Sustainability: Ocean plastic recovery filters and renewable energy harvesting via bio-mimetic hull coating. - Tags

- Production Technology
- The project envisions the use of large-scale 3D printing and advanced carbon-fiber composites for the sculptural exoskeleton. The vessel is powered by a hybrid hydrogen-electric propulsion system for zero-emission cruising. The Dragon's Eye atrium utilizes high-performance smart glass with embedded transparent solar cells to reduce energy consumption for climate control.
- Design Challenge
- The primary challenge was integrating a monumental organic sculpture into a high-performance 150-meter hull without compromising maritime aerodynamics and aesthetics. Overcoming the visual "heaviness" of the dragon required meticulous digital modeling to refine the exoskeleton into a balanced, load-bearing structure. Harmonizing traditional Chinese mythology with futuristic luxury standards ensured the vessel appeals to a global elite while maintaining its unique cultural soul.
- Research
- This design-led research explored the integration of cultural iconography into naval architecture. Using a methodology of AI-assisted formal analysis and 3D modeling, the study focused on the synergy between serpentine mythological forms and yacht hulls. The project suggests that a structural exoskeleton could potentially reduce reliance on traditional internal bulkheads, enhancing spatial flow. Insight: biophilic design and mythological symbolism significantly increase the emotional and market value of mega-yachts.
- Inspiration
- The White Dragon Mega yacht is a profound tribute to Chinese cultural heritage, where the dragon symbolizes power, strength, and good fortune. The inspiration stems from the fluid, serpentine movement of this mythical creature. The design seeks to bridge the gap between traditional Eastern aesthetics and futuristic naval architecture, transforming a 150-meter vessel into a monumental floating sculpture.
- Project Duration
- The project commenced in September 2025 in Lucca, Italy. Currently in its final development stage, the design is scheduled for conceptual completion by late March 2026. The creative process involved extensive research into maritime engineering alongside Chinese cultural iconography and mythology. This was followed by advanced 3D modeling and AI-assisted visualization phases to ensure the structural feasibility of the intricate exoskeleton and the integration of sustainable propulsion systems.
- Operation Flow
- The interior follows a biophilic philosophy, featuring a cavernous multi-level saloon with an indoor infinity pool and integrated vertical forests. The expansive foredeck serves as a multi-functional hub: a helideck, an open-air cinema, or a ceremonial plaza. Inside the dragon’s head, a secluded VIP observation lounge offers a 270-degree view. The aft deck is designed as an amphitheater-style social arena, cascading down to a luxurious beach club.
