The Allochroous is the Dream Boat category winner of the 9th Millennium Yacht Design Award (MYDA), an international competition for yacht designers around the world. Conceptualized by beginner entrants Ezgi Aksan and Ambra Ceronetti, Allochroous is a futuristic representation of what their dream yacht would be. Drawing upon innovative technologies, the key feature behind the concept is that the yacht is able to transform its functionality. The vision was to create a sustainable yacht that is ideal for enjoying a summer concert at sea.
The Allochroous is designed specifically to host events such as concerts, multi-media exhibitions, special events and private parties. Not only does the color of the boat transform by day or by night, but the yacht actually changes shape. The colors change due to the installation of glass tiles that change color depending on the outside temperature. The design of the yacht resembles a fish out-of-water, while twin floating arms and a motorized torpedo allow the hull of the yacht to descend to sea level when not in motion and rise when traveling.
The 40 meter (131 ft)-long vessel features a lounge area with tables and chairs, a concert floor and a cocktail bar. The lower deck includes guest services such as private bathrooms, cooking facilities and crew/backstage services. The base structure resembles a honeycomb structure and is built using recycled aluminum. Solar panels on the roof can generate enough energy to operate the yacht, while composite paneling bonded with layers of clear polycarbonate create an attractive anti-slip finish for floor and wall surfaces.
The jury also gave a special mention to young designers Simone Madella and Lorenzo Berselli for their Cronos entry. This concept represented an interesting expression of interior design with a strong focus on wood materials. The sleek and simple lines of this entry create an attractive designer yacht concept that is reminiscent of the 60's.
