A new design for a superyacht has been unveiled where it will blend with the ocean and sky to make it invisible.
Invisible Superyacht Concept
Jozeph Forakis, an architect from Milan, Italy, shared his concept about an invisible superyacht named Pegasus with Architectural Digest. According to him, it will have a silver-metallic finish and glass wings that will camouflage within the water and reflect the skies.
He got the idea after spending time on Koufonissi in Greece. According to him, the experience moved him to design a yacht close to the sea and nature. He added that he wanted to honor nature by blending into it and eventually be "virtually invisible."
The Italian designer was not only aiming to camouflage nature, he also made sure that the luxury yacht would not contribute any harm to the environment by giving it a mechanism with infinite range but with zero emissions. According to Forakis, the superyacht is invisible in design and environmental impact.
The 288-foot vessel would be powered by green energy sources. It will have onboard solar panels to harness solar energy and convert seawater into hydrogen, which will be stored in high-pressure tanks before being converted into electricity by fuel cells.
It will be created using a robotic 3D printing machine to minimize construction waste. According to Forakis, it will produce an extremely strong yet lightweight structure that equates to less energy, material, waste and time than traditional construction.
Superyacht With Tree of Life
The designers incorporated a "Tree of Life" aboard the luxury ship which, according to them, is a "living, breathing monument to mother nature."
Beginning at a reflecting pool on the lower deck, the "tree" extends vertically through the ship's remaining four levels. Alongside the monument is a sculptural spiral staircase.
The ship also features minimally-designed expansive lounges, an owners suite encompassing the entire top level, an aquarium-style lap pool, port and starboard balconies, and a beach club with an oversized Jacuzzi.
The interiors are furnished and decorated with minimalist furniture and accents, further emphasizing the designers' commitment to honor nature.
The pool club, located at the bow of the ship, features an aquarium-style lap pool and expansive horizontal windows that convert into open balconies on both port and starboard, Daily Mail added.
When the pool cover is closed, it serves as a helipad. Fokais added that the ship's stern would feature an open beach club.
The vessel would feature a 'oversized jacuzzi' with fold-down balconies that convert into an enclosed solarium with sliding glass panels across the ceiling and down the transom bulkhead.
Pegasus is a vision for the near future of the superyacht industry that is both audacious and feasible, in which man and machine live in harmony with nature rather than competing with it.
