Wave Catamaran

The concept
The project starts from the analysis of today typology catamarans design.

In most cases we have pointed out that the exterior design is too much simple, almost skin-deep and without fluent line, unlike the luxurious and elegant interiors.

For this reason we thought to give a different answer to the current naval market drawing a catamaran 24 metres long with a sporting, but at the same time elegant design.

Thinking about the sea as a world in a continuous movement, we took the “wave” as a symbol of it. Starting from this idea we modelled the lines of the hull which seem to break themselves to bow.

The second element at the base of the project idea is the concept of the living space that we wanted to draw in a sort of continuity between interiors and exteriors.

Through the big glass windows we get an almost 360 degree view, which allows a visual continuity with outside. Not only, through the large glass doors opened life inside is projected in the outdoor spaces giving a continuity in the use of the yacht.

The project

The yacht develops through three decks. On the main deck we can find the common living spaces: inside there are a kitchen, a bar area and a living room, which are divided by a glass wall, that at the same time keeps the 360 degree view. While outside there are a long sinuous sofa houses a dining area and a relaxation area. A movable foot-board hidden in the floor stretches out toward the sea creating a small beach. Under the board there is the tender park.

From this floor we can reach the fly deck through a glass staircase. Here there is the solarium, a drink area, the outside place pilot and a Jacuzzi. Over the pool there is an arch which contains the lights, the stereo and the water sprinkling.

Space below the main deck is organized in the way to reserve a whole hull to the shipowner and it contains a living room, a double bedroom, two bathrooms and one SPA.

In the other hull there are two cabins for guests and one for the crew.

The design

The main theme are the flowing, sinuous lines that propose both in the design of the hull (and superstructure) and in the design of the furnishings.

The elegant lines also corresponds the careful selection of colours in the clear tones (beige, white) to give a sense of lightness and elegance. The exterior of the hulls and superstructure is designed in bronze colour to propose a new chromatic boat line.

The interior walls are coated with civil white plaster properly treated, while some elements, as the ceiling of the shipowner's cabin and the headboard of the bed, are decorated with leather.

The floors are wooden (teak for the external spaces, wengé for the interiors), sails in carbon fiber.

The tecnology is seen by the high-tech retractrable screens which are hidden in the ceiling of the rooms.

In the living room there is a “green fall”: some plants are grown in stacked pots by hydroculture and create a kind of vertical garden. Hydroponics is a method of growing using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel oer expanded clay.

The SPA is associated with water treatment which is also known as balneotherapy, not only, it offers various treatment like aromatherapy, chromotherapy, hot spring, hot tube and sauna.
