(CNN) — Gigantic superyachts have long been nicknamed "floating skyscrapers," but this new innovative concept from studio Rodriguez Design has taken that notion to an entirely new level.

Measuring 110 meters, Malena is designed in the style of a high-rise apartment building, with a symmetrical superstructure consisting of balconies stretching across both sides of its decks and along the middle.

Made of steel and aluminum, the vessel will be fitted with huge exterior spaces in order to encourage outdoor living, as well as a hydraulic swimming platform that provides easy access to the ocean.
