The young Italian design team comprised of Antonino Muto and Alberto Franchi came up with the 55-metre sailing superyacht concept, called Gemma. She accommodates up to 12 guests on board over six staterooms in addition to a crew of eight.
Gemma has an eye-catching deckhouse design that features electrochromic glass to turn it completely dark to protect the inside from the sun or others eyes or completely clear to break the border between the inside and the outside environment.

The designers also state that the most unique aspect of Gemma’s design is the deckhouse,and elaborating on this feature, the pair state: “The glass that forms the deckhouse is electrochromic, i.e. has the capacity of turning the deckhouse completely dull so that it protects from the sun, or into an environment completely clear during the evening hours to the user’s discretion. We conceived a deckhouse of this type because we wanted a covered space that could put the user in touch with the environment that surrounds him whether he is inside or out.”

Inside the deckhouse, you can find a large lounge area with bar, sofas, dining and a control zone table. There is also another lounge bar with a balcony on the sea for a closer contact with the environment outside.
The master suite is located at aft area on the lower deck. The guests can find their sleep places amidships. The crew area is located at the bow.
