Based on the concept of invisibility, Jozeph Forakis and his team at jozeph forakis … design has designed a futuristic yacht that is a true zero-emissions vessel that is invisible both in design and in its environmental impact.
PEGASUS 88m ‘Invisible’ Superyacht has recently been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
With characteristic in-depth research, Forakis has composed a symphony of selected advanced technologies, existing and currently in development to achieve unprecedented levels of sustainably, range, and structural integrity.
The 88m superyacht’s construction uses robotic 3D printing to create a mesh framework integrating both hull and superstructure.
The result is an extraordinarily strong and lightweight structure that can be produced using less energy, material, waste, space, and time compared to conventional construction.
Its exterior design starts with a low, linear hull with a plumb bow and silvery metallic finish, which blends chameleon-like with the water’s colors and movements.
This foundation at the waterline supports the superstructure with multi-tiered, ephemeral glass wings that reflect the clouds and the sky.
The centerpiece of the futuristic interior design is the multi-level “Tree of Life” – a living, breathing monument to mother nature and the nucleus of the hydroponic garden providing fresh food and air purification.
The base of the tree emerges from a reflecting pool on the lower deck and is surrounded by the hydroponic + meditation Zen Garden.
The tree extends vertically through all four levels accompanied by a sculptural spiral staircase.
The top level, exclusive to the owner, has a forward-facing master suite featuring a large private terrace.
The forward pool club has an aquarium-style lap pool and expansive horizontal windows that transform into open balconies, port, and starboard.
The open beach club, with fold-down balconies, transforms into an enclosed solarium with sliding glass panels across the ceiling and down the transom bulkhead.
In operation, Pegasus will produce zero carbon emissions and will have a virtually unlimited range.
Solar energy is used to convert seawater into hydrogen which is stored for longer periods.
