A modern superyacht inspired by raw gemstones, combining exclusive design, natural materials, and maximum energy efficiency.

Adamas is a modern aluminium superyacht with a planing hull, measuring between 40 and 45 meters in length. It features meticulously designed interiors and 40m² of photovoltaic panels for total energy efficiency. Raw gemstones inspire the design and incorporate natural materials like travertine and boucle fabric to create an environment that conveys a sense of security and theatricality.

The project is centred around three key concepts: theatricality, protection, and balance, all inspired by the cuts of oval, baguette, and brilliant diamonds. These characteristics are reflected in the design of both the interior and exterior spaces, with curved walls and precise lighting, to offer a unique and prestigious experience.
 

The brief of the thesis project in Transportation Design/Yacht defines a modern version of a planing aluminum yacht, inspired by the classic Baglietto yachts designed by architects Cichero and Paszkowski. This version redefines the interior spaces to meet market demands, maintaining a maximum length of 40-45 meters and sacrificing part of the power to improve space distribution. The yacht is designed to accommodate at least 6 crew members and 4 double guest cabins, prioritizing contact with the sea in the outdoor areas, and offering spacious common areas.
