Our journey with eWAVE commenced with initial sketches, serving as a springboard for exploring diverse directions in defining the general character of the catamaran. Embedded within our efforts from the outset were core values emphasizing a futuristic perspective and the ushering in of a new era in water transport. Our objective was to introduce ideas imbued with a modern sensibility, resonating with the essence of innovation and progress.

After determining our primary design direction, our goal was to deeply engage with the dynamic realm of marine mobility. Our team identified the unique requirements of electric marine units, characterized by extensive brainstorming sessions where numerous design approaches were proposed and evaluated. Our aim was to conceptualize a catamaran that fulfilled the practical needs of the users but also exemplified our Client's values of sustainability and innovation.

In the final stage of concept review, we prepared numerous detailed sketches incorporating intricate design elements such as lighting, colors, and even branding. These sketches provided more realistic views, which played a pivotal role in the decision-making process regarding the concept selected for further development.

In this phase, we transitioned the selected concepts into a 3D environment, which proved important for grasping the full scope of the design beyond 2D sketches. This step enabled us to confirm our initial design assumptions made at the outset of the process. By visualizing the forms in three dimensions, we gained a deeper understanding of their potential and feasibility.... Read more As the design evolved within 3D space, it acquired additional details that enhanced its realism, essential both for client reviews and engineering development. These enhancements included refined surface details, smoother transitions between elements, and the integration of extra components.

As the design's shape and direction became clearer, it was time to prepare and verify concepts with the higher level of detail and realism. This process involved the use of 3D visualization techniques. This approach allowed for a comprehensive evaluation of the quality of details within the design. It helped to identify which areas are well proportioned, and which areas still need further development. By doing so, we can focus our efforts on enhancing those aspects that require additional refinement.

This emphasis guided a focused approach towards interior design, emphasizing modular functionality and adaptability to address a range of scenarios. Consequently, users are empowered with the flexibility to effortlessly reconfigure the interior by reattaching specific upholstery elements, facilitating transitions between classical layouts, sunbed arrangements, and dining setups around the table. ... Read more This dedication to modular versatility ensures that the catamaran interior remains dynamic and responsive to evolving preferences and activities on board. By incorporating this adaptable design philosophy, eWAVE maximizes usability and enhances the overall user experience, offering unparalleled convenience and comfort for various recreational and leisure pursuits.

Armed with insights from our examination of physical mock-ups and initial concepts surrounding interior modularity, we delved into more detailed phase for eWAVE's interior design. During these phase rudimentary concepts transformed into more detailed sketches, infused with vibrant colors and textures.

Undertaking a technical feasibility study played a pivotal role in evaluating the practicality of our design concepts and engineering solutions. This thorough assessment encompassed various facets, including the structural integrity of eWAVE, assembly sequencing, and manufacturing metrics. Through this analysis, we consulted our solutions with Client's technical team to evaluate technical feasibility of our design while pinpointing areas requiring further refinement.... Read more Additionally, the feasibility study shed light on the manufacturability of the catamaran, ensuring that our innovative design could be effectively realized within the parameters of production capabilities and cost constraints.

The next step involved integrating the design with engineering requirements. Our engineering team redraw all the surfaces in parametric CAD environment CATIA V5. This incorporation of engineering constraints significantly enhanced the overall feasibility of the project and introduced some minor modifications. By this stage, the design had already evolved to its nearly final form.

CMF (Color, Material, and Finish)—these three pivotal elements have influenced the essence of eWAVE's design. As our journey unfolded, it became clear that the precise combination of these elements would not only shape the catamaran's aesthetics but also significantly impact its practicality.... Read more Our team embarked on a deep exploration of materials, aiming to strike a delicate equilibrium between durability and sustainability. Every choice we made resonates with eWAVE's innovative spirit while prioritizing seamless production feasibility. We carefully selected materials that are robust enough to withstand the rigors of the marine environment while also being gentle on our planet's delicate ecosystem.

In establishing the CMF specifications for future work, visualizing how they would appear on specific elements of eWAVE proved invaluable. To select the most suitable style, we experimented with various options through detailed sketches that comprehensively accounted for all factors. This approach provided greater clarity and assistance in decision-making processes.

After finalizing all CMF details, it became essential to incorporate these principles into the complete design of the catamaran, particularly the interior. The interior is a vital aspect from the users' perspective since it is where they spend the majority of their time onboard. Integrating these design elements seamlessly was important to inform further prototype development.

Transitioning from prototype to manufacturing for the production version of eWAVE required a seamless process, with a focus on scalability, cost-efficiency, and quality control. This phase represented the culmination of our collaborative efforts with eWAVE YACHTS, guiding the transition to the catamaran serial production.

eWAVE interior in its production version, accurately showcases the design ideas developed and refined by our team. Looking at the precisely crafted details of the floor surface, upholstery stitching or ambient lighting accounts for all the team's efforts engaged in the project.

In addition to the lifelike and high-quality renderings, we created a series of visualizations with a more abstract nature. These visuals emphasized the innovative and modern style, reflecting the core values that served as the driving force behind the inception of the project.
