DESIGN NAME: Silverback Gorilla
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Yacht
INSPIRATION: Inspired by an atrium house, this 73 meter long yacht concept has 2 courtyards. The target was a new experience of space on a motor yacht. The concept does not track the rational and perhaps optimal use of every square meter, but wants to approach to architectural parameters like the interplay of spaces, openings and visibility.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The central point of the yacht is the atrium garden. It offers an incomparable sheltered
green haven on the high seas, but also a big space for parties. The yacht has a lot of view
contacts all over it because of the big roofless room and its surrounding galleries. In case
of bad weather, the courtyard will be protected by a closeable glass-roof. On the deck
there is a sun deck and a bar at the stern. The yacht is also equipped with a helicopter
landing space on the rear and a second sun deck at the bow. There is also an additional
yard which is mainly used for dining.
With a simple design and a well-composed multifunctionality this yacht contrats with all its
conventional competitors.
