Overview

R stands for Revolution

Full-scope industrial design and 3D visualization for a 30-foot all-electric aluminum yacht, developed for Florida-based Blue Innovations Group.

The design fuses automotive principles and technologies and principles with the hydrodynamic forms of apex marine life. Overcoming complex technical constraints and structural limitations, the team engineered a fully functional, high-performance boat—setting groundbreaking design cues that continue to influence electric watercraft across the industry today.
