In addition to building a variety of high-end vehicles, Aston Martin is also interested in architecture. The latest creation is the company’s first building in Japan. It is located in the Minami Aoyama district of Tokyo.
Aston Martin designers worked with a local architect to shape the look of the four-story building. The automaker’s team also designed the interior, including the furniture selection. The structure’s amenities include a car gallery, which is a fancy term for a garage. A wine cellar, home cinema and gym are also among the luxuries. The roof terrace offers a view of Tokyo.

The exterior of the building on one side features black, vertical elements that cover a window that spans the full width of the structure. Another section has floor-to-ceiling windows on each floor. A grid and a small lawn are on the roof.
The interior has lots of black wood covering the walls and the ceiling. A room is under the garage, so the owner can sit there and watch the Aston Martins at eye level.
“Outside, we created a striking architectural form with clean lines and seamless borders so residents could connect and experience this unique place. Inside, we catered to the senses, using a holistic combination of elements and materials to create a calm and relaxing space for them to retreat to,” said Marek Reichman, Creative Director of Aston Martin.
The Aston Martin house is still under construction. The company plans to complete construction in November 2023.
In 2020, Aston Martin created the $7.7 million Sylvan Rock home about two hours from Manhattan. Its design featured clean lines and large windows. In addition to the 5,983 square foot house, there was a tree house and three guest house modules. The driveway was 2,000 feet long.
Later in 2020, Aston Martin announced that it was creating five homes on the 59th and 60th floors at 130 William in New York City. They had touches like blackened oak Italian cabinetry, a cashmere-covered headboard in the bedroom, and lots of marble in the kitchen. Buyers even had the option of adding a racing simulation room, office or library to their home. Customers also received a custom DBX with a Parliament Green leather interior, marble stone inlays and satin walnut trim.
