Aston Martin-designed home has a licence to thrill – at £18m
JAMES Bond would be shaken and stirred by a new house designed by Aston Martin where he can have dinner besides his cars.
The iconic Midland car maker is behind a luxurious property that lets the owner park their motors next to their dining table.
Aston Martin have partnered with Japanese concierge firm VIBROA to create ‘No. 001 Minami Aoyama’, which sits in the highly desirable Omotesando area of Tokyo.
The four-storey home, complete with roof terrace and stunning views of the city, is already sold to a private buyer and is scheduled for completion in November 2023.
The house could have gone for around £18 million.
No. 001 has many high-end features, most notably in a so-called “automotive gallery” that allows you to view your prized car collection from your dining table.
There is also a wine cellar, home cinema, gym and private spa.
Aston Martin said the new design partnership with VIBROA forms part of their wider strategic growth plans in Japan, with the brand seeking to capitalise on the market’s huge commercial potential and increasing consumer demand.
Marek Reichman, executive vice president and chief creative officer of Aston Martin, said: “The influence of Tokyo culture, with its amazing history and style, holds an important creative space within our design studio.
‘‘I see fashion, architectural and even culinary references being considered by our team when developing their work, so its presence can really be felt within our practice.
“We thought we would return the favour through our first ultra-luxury collaboration in Asia with VIBROA by tailoring our Aston Martin real estate design principles specifically to the No. 001 Minami property.
“Outside, we’ve created a striking architectural form with clean lines and seamless boundaries so the residents can connect with and experience this unique location.
‘‘Inside, we’ve catered to the senses, using a holistic combination of elements and materials to create a calm and relaxing space for them to retreat.”
Greg Adams, regional president – Japan and South Korea for Aston Martin added: “As Aston Martin grows in Japan, we are passionate about finding innovative ways to bring our ultra-luxury brand to life and resonate with local consumers.”
