Superyacht Design Inspired by design a superyacht including Architecture from The Sydney Opera House, Origami and Car design

British Designer Alex McDiarmid, based in the South of France, has been inspired by a non nautical philosophy to design a superyacht including Architecture from The Sydney Opera House, Origami and Car design,


He sees the concept as a fresh thinking approach to the styling of a 150’/46m Sports Yacht that would feature an aluminium hull and superstructure ensuring both speed and agility.


The wheelhouse is a mere extension of her sleek sporting lines. 


Features include:

  • An open-plan salon, bar and dining area for ten.
  • Master suite with a private study, his-and-hers bathrooms and a walk-in dressing area. 
  • Two double cabins with ensuite bathroom and two cabins, each with two single beds and one Pullman. 
  • Accommodation for twelve guests and eight crew members.
  • A fully integrated, centralised entertainment system throughout.

Technical/Principal Characteristics:
LOA 150′ 46m
BEAM         27’6″       8.4m


Having spent the last few years in a number of yacht design studios in the UK, France and Italy, Alex McDiarmid has contributed to a number of projects from RIBs to Motor Yachts, Sailing Yachts to Catamarans, Tenders and Super Yachts for many established and emerging international brands around the world.
