Unlike many streamlined boats on the water, this luxury yacht concept by NEWCRUISE has a boxy design that pays tribute to modernist ships and houses. The 'M.Y. CUBE' concept is a 246' yacht that plays up the rectangular forms on its interior and exterior. The architecture-inspired 'Gentleman Commuter' is sculptural, with integrated guardrails to cut down on the addition of extraneous detailing.
The yacht is packed with a decadent lounge areas, a waterfall and a mosaic-tiled pool, which fits in with the square theme quite nicely.
For the maximum freedom and comfort of passengers, the design uses more loose than fixed furniture on deck. Since so many of the elements on this yacht are geometric, the modular forms lend themselves perfectly to this idea of mobility on-board.
