| DESIGN NAME: CLX96 PRIMARY FUNCTION: Motor Yacht INSPIRATION: The design optimistically embraces this yacht's role as a vehicle meant to honor the great outdoors, celebrate the sun and sea, while protecting her occupants from the elements and surprises of the deep at all times. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The CLX96’s iconic profile and numerous innovative features result from original thinking and smart design, integrating beauty and functionality. The unique double-reverse-angle OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The main idea was to blend the outdoors and indoors throughout the boat, and to create - not just more space - but more more diverse types of spaces for people to enjoy themselves and each other in different ways: collectively, in small groups, and in solitude as desired. The iconic double-reverse-angle PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Project duration- 2018-2020 Location- Hong Kong |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: With a long history using state or the art composites, the shipyard has a well earned reputation for building strong, lightweight, high performing, seaworthy craft. The unique design of CLX96 represented new challenges that required new building techniques and solutions which will be leveraged into future designs. All wood, stone, and Corian elements are made with honeycomb and foam-cored construction, combining performance, stiffness and lightweight efficiency with unprecedented luxury experiences. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Length overall- 29.5 m Beam- 7.32 m Draft- 1.62 m Displacement- 92,990 kg (approx.) Top speed 27.0 kts (approx.) TAGS: iconic design RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The client challenged us to rethink yacht design and yachting experiences from the ground up. Growing up with a love for boats and the sea, but having never designed a yacht before, I approached the project with the eyes of a child and an outsider’s imagination. However, beyond pure intuition and vision, our design process follows a model of Cross-Fertilization combining creative ideation and critical and analytical research. Our extensive research into any new targeted area includes benchmarking historical, technical, and socio-cultural milestones and trends to understand direct and indirect influences, allowing us to quickly identify - as well as invent - innovation opportunities with a fresh, original, but - importantly - expert perspective. Additionally, our studio’s ongoing research into new materials and manufacturing techniques, and well as extensive knowledge into state-of-the-art interactive digital technologies, informs our thinking and vision in ways that inform and excite us to create new ideas and approaches. For CLX96, collectively thousands of hours were spent touring, sailing, and living on boats, visiting yacht shows and shipyards, interviewing yacht owners, their captains and crews. CHALLENGE: This is an honest design. A sincere way of approaching problems in new ways and developing a new language based on an original vision. The bold profile and iconic design is the result of a holistic, First Principles re-thinking of yacht design. From the double-reverse angle House - more interior volume and exterior spaces with increased overall strength and rigidity - to the Plumb Bow semi-planing hull - enhanced volume with exceptional performance and seaworthiness - the unique overall design results from an integrated way of synthesizing problem solving into a new, original, unified whole. Everything on this boat - inside and out - has multiple functions, rather than trying to be different for its own sake, and is connected to a higher vision and way of thinking ADDED DATE: 2021-03-29 16:46:08 TEAM MEMBERS (10) : Jozeph Forakis, Deok San Lee, Nikolai Rizo, Raffaelino Farina, Claudia Renate Mantik, Prima Ramanuj, Martina Biondi, Martin Lo, Earl Alfaro and Albert Horsmon IMAGE CREDITS: Jozeph Forakis (jozeph forakis ... design) CL Yachts Ken Wu PATENTS/COPYRIGHTS: "CL Yachts" and "CLX96" names and logos are trademarks of Cheoy Lee Shipyards Ltd. |
