This area includes a plunge pool, a pergola and a curved staircase leading to the upper deck.\r\n\r\nBreaking down barriers between the interior and exterior spaces was a key theme for the designers, and this can also be seen in the saloon, which is just a few steps away from the aft deck infinity pool flanked by folding balconies.\r\n\r\n\u201cOften, reference is made to large windows as a method to enhance the relationship between the interior and exterior,\u201d comments Vallebona.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn the case of Sirena Superyachts, I wanted to take this concept a step further, ensuring not only expansive views of the landscape but also the possibility of physically stepping outside of the usually enclosed interior.\u201d\r\n\r\n<em>Article continues below...<\/em>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n[collection]\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nBelow decks the guest accommodation is comprised of four cabins, two of which feature en-suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes that will ensure excellent noise insulation from the adjacent crew and machinery spaces.\r\n\r\n\u201cIn these cabins, the use of curved elements alternating with more rectilinear lines is evident,\u201d Vallebona adds. \u201cIn general, through the use of curves, large fillets, and dynamic walls, I wanted to create the opportunity for an interior where there is always an element that can stand out from the rest, clear and not redundant.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn terms of decor, Hot Lab\u2019s choice of oak, beech, cotton, chenille and titanium aims to evoke both Nordic and Mediterranean styles.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-129023\" src=\"https:\/\/keyassets.timeincuk.net\/inspirewp\/live\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2023\/10\/sirena-42m-first-look-HL_SRN_003_-Interior_MainSalon_002_SM_0015-630x354.jpg\" alt=\"sirena-42m-first-look-HL_SRN_003_ Interior_MainSalon_002_SM_0015\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" \/>\r\n\r\nAntonio Romano, commercial director and partner of The Viken Group and co-founder of Hot Lab explains: \u201cWe developed with the yard various stylistic solutions that could satisfy owners with very different needs while allowing the shipyard to standardise production as much as possible.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe Sirena 42M will be the Turkish yard\u2019s flagship by quite some distance, eclipsing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/reviews\/flybridges\/sirena-88-turkish-flagship-semi-custom-yacht\">Sirena 88<\/a> by a good 50ft.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe interiors are simply stunning, with stylishly realised options that allow for highly personalised finishing coupled to design flexibility in layout that ties in perfectly with Sirena\u2019s forward-thinking approach to general arrangements without impacting on engineering elements,\u201d says Cagin Genc, CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/articles\/brand\/sirena\">Sirena Yachts<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\u201cHot Lab captured the essence of Sirena\u2019s unique superyachts and their innovative and inviting layouts, and we are confident our enthusiasm will be shared by our clients.\u201d\r\n\r\n[jwplayer key=\"WXcrEtnQ\"]","excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filling-up the dock at the Miami show&#8217;s Yacht Haven Grande superyacht display, Victorious is from the Turkish yard AKYacht, and currently owned by supercar-loving Turkish entrepreneur Vural Ak.
