BEST CONCEPT YACHT WINNER | Oceanco/DeBasto Designs: Project Cosmos

Luiz DeBasto’s idea behind Oceanco’s 295-foot (90-meter) Project Cosmos was to have a yacht where guests could be in touch with and enjoy

their surroundings, yet still be in a controlled environment. This concept led to the creation of a glass dome that covers the upper deck. The dome

looks simple but is complex, appearing to fl oat above the hull in what Oceanco says is a feasible construction idea. The type of glass specifi ed

would control ultraviolet and solar exposure, reducing air-conditioning needs. An iPad menu would turn the glass opaque, creating privacy when

necessary, and would allow mood settings by individual panel, by zones or globally. builtbyoceanco.com; luizdebasto.com
