Consider it a floating entertainment hub.<\/p>\n Valkyrie has you covered with a helicopter pad, casino and art galleries.<\/p>\n Want more? A club, sky lounge beach club and restaurants will keep you busy.<\/p>\n <\/a>Chulhun Park <\/p>\n Still not enough: there would also be shops and theaters.<\/p>\n Need to relax: there\u2019s a total of three bow-facing decks for lounging.<\/p>\n With 52 guests in 26 cabins \u2013 it\u2019s like a cruise ship that can crank up the speed. <\/p>\n However, it looks nothing like the huge white tourist traps. <\/p>\n Sleek and futuristic \u2013 not unlike this futuristic superyacht concept<\/a> \u2013 \u2018gigayacht\u2019 wouldn\u2019t look out of place in a\u00a0science\u00a0fiction\u00a0film.<\/p>\n <\/a>Chulhun Park<\/a>Chulhun Park<\/a>Chulhun Park<\/a>Chulhun Park<\/a>Chulhun Park<\/p>\n Chulhun Park explained that his inspiration came from deconstructivism.<\/p>\n The architectural style favors warped shapes over convention.<\/p>\n \u201cHaving seen too many conventional white yachts, which were vertically stacked like wedding cakes, I was determined to design a visually unique yacht which would stand out from a fleet,\u201d he told CNN.<\/p>\n \u201cI was interested in manipulating a structure\u2019s surface to create non-rectilinear shapes, which appear to distort and dislocate elements of shape.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Concept for world\u2019s first \u2018gigayacht\u2019 that\u2019s twice as big as Jeff Bezos\u2019 is incredible<\/a> appeared first on Supercar Blondie<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An amazing concept for the first ever \u2018gigayacht\u2019 has been revealed.
