Headline: Design Studio Create 190 Meter Long Superyacht

Caption: Sourcing a futuristic style that aspires to transcend imagination to become an advanced and modern reality, the L’amage superyacht concept is the work of visionary designer H. Bekradi, founder of HBD Studios. Its beautiful exterior displays minimalist profiles with clean lines, such as an inclined character edge running from its helipad to its beach club tender, and touches of personality with large details of complementing wooden decking. With a total measurement of 190 meters in length and 28.6 meters in width, the vessel’s hull design presents an inverted bow that creates a strong and sleek shape. First previewed at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show, the 190 meter L’amage superyacht has a passenger capacity of 28 guests, featuring 14 staterooms, a private apartment for the owner, and space for up to 70 crew members. Furthermore, it is equipped with advanced technologies to push the concept to the forefront of naval design. Claimed to be the 'first superyacht project to incorporate the flat panel satellite technology by KYMETA', the concept replaces the unsightly domes that normally sit on top of yachts. Instead, the flat satellite panels are hidden away behind exterior walls, resulting in a much lighter and purer aesthetic. "This project was a challenge to see how far we can take the exterior styling of a superyacht towards a modern and futuristic look, which is still feasible based on today's available technologies,” starts Bekradi. “My background is in car design, so in this project I applied a similar approach to that of the "show cars" whereby lowering the concerns over the budget, designers will be given more freedom to envision ideas and solutions that normally could not be obtained in a project with tight budget limits." “Once these new and visionary ideas and solutions are created then there will be the possibility to modify and re-engineer some of them in order to make them applicable to a more ‘ordinary’ project with limited budget. In other words, adapting them to today's technology and manufacturing techniques. That's how new input can be inserted in the industry.” "We know that there might be just a few individuals in the world who can possibly commission the build of a superyacht the size of L'Amage,” Bekradi concludes, “but the design features and solutions that were created for this project, could easily be scaled down and applied on smaller yachts, let's say a 90 metre superyacht or a 75 metre explorer version, for which we already have an interested client.” Performance wise, L’Amage will boast a top speed of 32 knots thanks to the 95,000 hp generated by her two diesel engines running together with two gas turbines, as well as a range of approximately 6,000 nm.
