Zaha Hadid Architects Unveils Futuristic Oneiric Catamaran for Rossinavi
Design Firm's Latest Concept Blends Technology and Luxury in Seafaring Vessel
Italian shipyard Rossinavi has partnered with Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) to create the Oneiric, a yacht that combines sustainable technology with innovative design. The Oneiric is a Rossinavi green technology flagship, with three levels of seamlessly integrated solar panels. An AI-driven control centre monitors energy consumption and battery status, as well as observes environmental impact to advise on the most sustainable navigation.
On a day trip, the Oneiric can cruise up to 100% of the time in full-electric mode with zero emissions. On transatlantic crossings, the yacht can cruise in full-electric mode up to 70% of the time, saving approximately 40 tonnes of CO2 compared to a conventional vessel.
The design of the Oneiric's exterior and interior is informed by the fluidity and dynamism of ocean waves. The sinuous lines and reflective surfaces of the yacht’s exterior are continued throughout the interior, blurring the boundaries between ship and sea.
Multiple interior and outdoor lounging and dining areas, as well as a media room with entertainment technologies, are integrated into the design together with a large owner’s suite and four guest cabins. The yacht's interior spaces interconnect, a feature that makes the design unique. The owner’s suite provides access to the forward outdoor lounge area, which can be shaded by retractable structures.
The consideration of weight is crucial to all yacht design, and for the Oneiric, lightweight interior materials – many of which are recycled and recyclable – were chosen for energy efficiency and optimal performance. Oneiric's full-electric mode is capable of silent operations, while the yacht benefits from the effects of Rossinavi Zero Noise technology that isolates all noise on board from the original source.
Rossinavi's technological innovations and philosophy of sustainability are inspired by phytoplankton, a small marine alga that converts sunlight into energy and provides more than half of the Earth’s annual oxygen production. The Oneiric's pursuit of environmental sustainability is driven by the desire to conserve the well-being of the ocean's ecosystems.
In conclusion, the Oneiric is a cutting-edge yacht that prioritises the health of the ocean while providing an unrivalled experience for the owner and guests. Its sustainable technology, innovative design, and attention to detail make it a standout example of how yachts can be luxurious and environmentally friendly.
