Ioana Valentina Corcodel, a Romanian designer, has been shortlisted for this year’s BOAT International Young Designer of the Year Award, in association with Oceanco, after submitting designs for a 65-meter eco-conscious concept named Ophelia.

A kinetic solar-sensitive shutter system on the side windows can be programmed to open and close in response to solar radiation to create a comfortable interior environment and reduce the need for air conditioning. Additionally, the interior features a dancefloor area designed with angular, energy-generating panels that are activated by the visitors’ footsteps.

Corcodel characterized the interior design as appropriate for a long-term proprietor who “needs a comfortable space where he feels at home.” Therefore, the owner’s cabin is a split-level residence with an open atrium, a private library, and a remote office. The interior spaces are decorated with “warm tones of wood” and an assortment of plants and vegetation to promote a sense of well-being. A wellness area and a “atrium-style garden” are also available on board.

The renderings also depict a cocktail bar, al fresco dining areas, a swimming platform, and a flybridge equipped with a sunbathing daybed and a forward hot spring.

Corcodel, a Milan-based marine design company, has previously collaborated with Alberto Simeone and Jalmara Oy.
