The 'Oneiric' yacht has been designed by Zaha Hadid Architects in partnership with Italy-based shipyard Rossinavi as a opulent vessel powered by solar energy.
The yacht features a wave-inspired design that helps to blur the lines between the vessel and the water to draw correlations to its surroundings. Measuring in at 42-meters in length, the yacht-like catamaran has a twin-hull design with a bar saloon complete with sofas, a second deck with a hot tub and a series of dramatic steps that go down to the sea.
The 'Oneiric' yacht features a hybrid power system that makes use of solar and fuel, but can be switched to run 100% on solar energy. The solar panels on the vessel will continuously capture energy from the sun, even when not in use.
