Conceived as an architectural manifesto, Velor 75m proposes a profound reflection on how to live on a superyacht. The project, designed by Nauta Design, questions standards for the distribution of volumes and functions, emphasizing fluidity, openness and a permanent connection to the sea.
An engine confined in the lower hold to free up the upper decks
The turning point in the Velor 75m's configuration lies in the relocation of the engine room. Instead of occupying a central portion of the lower decks, the engine room is relegated to the ship's lowest technical hold. This technical choice, conceived in collaboration with Studio Names, frees up a considerable volume for the benefit of living areas. The engine is based on four generators (two 1,000-kilowatt and two 500-kilowatt), arranged in a diesel-electric format, ensuring flexibility and energy efficiency.
Vertical and horizontal fluidity: circulation without partitions
The interior layout is based on the disappearance of traditional barriers between levels and spaces. The absence of clear divisions between zones creates natural vertical and horizontal pathways. The layout is dictated by functions âeuros relaxation, socialization, rest âeuros rather than by fixed volumes. Transversal circulation is supported by architectural staircases and open-work platforms that encourage light and vanishing lines.
A silhouette marked by soft lines and sunshades
Visually, the yacht's rounded ends are counterbalanced by angular edges, particularly on the platforms and balconies. The treatment of the aft overhangs is based on brise-soleil-type blade structures, which create a play of cast shadows while opening up the lines of sight aft. These elements also visually lighten the decks, which seem to extend out to sea.
A convertible beach club open to the rear and well-being
The main living space at the stern of the boat is a multi-purpose lounge, flush with the water. Modular, this "water patio" can be closed off by sliding walls or completely opened up by retractable side platforms. Directly linked to the wellness area, this volume becomes an airlock between the sea and the cabins. Designed for practices as diverse as yoga, sea bathing or moments of silence, it exploits the height freed up by the movement of the engines.
Use zones adaptable to different profiles and times
Neither the upper foredeck nor the sun deck is set in stone. One can be used as an owner's area, the other for children or guests. The same volumes can be transformed according to the time of day or your desires: solarium, bath, reading corner or nocturnal observatory. The design focuses on use rather than form, with no overkill of fixed equipment.
