Helsinki Vessel Aila

 

The fully solar powered Helsinki Vessel Aila is designed by boatbuilder Antti Kurkela. The deck structure was designed as a collaboration with Antti Kurkela and architects Samuli Woolston (ALA Architects) and Julia Hertell (Mer Architects). The boat is made of plywood and the stern is covered in twelve flexible solar panels. The bow has a cabin for two, which receives plenty of light through a pyramid shaped glass roof.
