A talented designer has come up with a real 'floating palace ' that is sure to catch the eye of superyacht owners . Lujac Desautel 's SALT concept is very much a luxury item . But it is no celebrity-style motoryacht ; it is a 180ft yacht , complete with two masts and huge sails . The living quarters resemble a glass box , offering stunning views 24/7 and the glass area can be folded away so as to open up the yacht and take in the sea air . There are also steps that can be folded down into the sea giving you your very own swimming pool . Scroll down for video . Lujac Desautel 's SALT concept is a 180-foot vessel with sails instead of a motor that is very much a luxury item . The downstairs area resembled more like a pool-side lounging section , with easy access for a quick dip in the sea . Included on board is a dining area that can cater for 12 people , a cocktail bar and even an interior garden . There is one master cabin , two VIP cabins and two twin-bed residences . The yacht is a progression from Desautel 's GLASS structure which was inspired by skyscrapers and Lego and resembles a gleaming block rising from the sea . Instead , this sailing yacht is a somewhat more dreamy offering . 'The world is a laboratory of ideas that can be borrowed , ' Desautel writes on his website . 'Certain typologies can evolve because they have adoptive features . SALT could be thought of as an evolution of these preconceived ideas . ' A walk down to the lower deck offers a stunning balcony view that can also act as a sun trap . The yacht is a progression from Desautel 's GLASS structure which was inspired by skyscrapers and Lego . For any crew employed there are also four twin-bed cabins in a separate part of the yacht . On his website Desautel describes how he believes 'great design offers an authentic beauty that invites people to consider experiencing the world in a different way ; perhaps a way they never imagined . ' Desautel was last year nominated for Young Designer of the Year by Boat International Media and is a Bachelor of Architecture Student at California College of the Arts in the US . Although the ideas are only at the 'design ' stage , it is hoped the innovative and futuristic superyacht may well be just what one millionaire is after . The upper deck offers relaxing space , and despite the choppy seas there are plenty of facilities to keep you relaxed on board . Benjamin Maltby , Principal Consultant at MatrixLloyd – the worldwide authority on superyacht purchase and construction – gave MailOnline Travel his views on the SALT concept . ' I really like many of SALT 's features . Sure , it 's been created by a young designer – and this shows – but with a little further investment it could be turned into a glorious , ground-breaking vessel . 'The great thing about superyachts is that no planning permission is needed to build one – there are just some common sense safety regulations to be met . So buyers can make a floating space that 's truly a reflection of their personalities and aspirations . The superyacht is very much a futuristic design , the brainchild of talented yacht lover Lujac Desautel . ' I love the water-yacht interfaces . For years , too many designers viewed superyachts as floating houses . It took a long time for the ‘ beach club ’ concept to be accepted ( this is where hinged parts of the hull fold outwards to create platforms down by the water ’ s edge ) – now they ’ re de rigueur for engine-driven superyachts . 'SALT ’ s beach club at the back is an idea that ’ s not been tried as yet , but it ’ d be great as it offers a shady area that ’ s also surrounded by water on three sides . 'The steps on the side are wonderful , but some thought would be needed as how and where they would be stored when not in use as weight on a sailing superyacht must always be carried as centrally and low as possible to counteract the action of the wind on those sails . '
SALT is the latest superyacht concept by US based designer Lujac Desautel . Living quarter in the form of a centrally located glass box that can become open air . In keeping with environmental objectives , yacht has sails instead of a motor .
