Aston Martin x Architect David Adjaye Create 5 Luxury NYC Homes With Own Bespoke DBX

Aston Martin and architect Sir David Adjaye have joined forces to create a limited-edition collection of five luxury homes in 130 William, New York City. Each residence will come with a special edition Aston Martin DBX SUV designed by Sir David Adjaye.

This week luxury British automaker Aston Martin revealed they are teaming up with renowned architect Sir David Adjaye to collaborate on a collection of 5 luxury residences at 130 William, New York City.

While undoubtedly luxurious, the Aston Martin Residences at 130 William also come with a few extras for the auto-enthusiast, including a limited edition Aston Martin DBX SUV designed by Sir David Adjaye and the option to add a racing simulator room fit for a budding race driver.

Following on from their success with the Aston Martin Residences in Miami, the 130 William project marks the brand’s second real estate project, although it will be their first foray into the New York City real estate market. It also marks Sir David Adjaye’s first New York high-rise project.

“This is a fascinating project for the Aston Martin design team to work on and a great opportunity to collaborate with Sir David. It is our first real estate project in New York City but our second collaboration in real estate design after the Aston Martin Residences in Miami.” Says Marek Rechiman, Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer. “We can apply what we have learnt in Miami and also bring our unique automotive design skills to these beautiful luxury homes.”

Aston Martin Residences at 130 William New York City

Designed by British-Ghanaian architect Sir David Adjaye, 130 William comprises 242 residences across 66 stories. Inspiration for both the exterior and interior design comes from New York’s historic masonry architecture, which has been translated into custom hand-cast façades with refined bronze detailing, and a contemporary interpretation of the stonework that characterized classic Manhattan architecture.

Located on the 59th and 60th levels of 130 William, the five Aston Martin Residences have been exclusively designed through the collaboration of Sir David Adjaye and the Aston Martin design team and will be furnished and decorated with materials, textiles, and furniture sourced from the Aston Martin Home collection by Italian based Formitalia.

Each home features a private, expansive outdoor balcony spanning the entire length of residence and uses hand-cast building façade to offer privacy, with bespoke screens also dividing the terraces into a series of distinct zones for dining and relaxing.

Stepping out of the elevator, residences are greeted by Aston Martin’s signature crosshatch pattern elegantly displayed in a bronze finish across the hallway. Beneath the bronze detailing is wallpaper designed by Adjaye Associates, while a bespoke smoked glass mirror created by Aston Martin Design reflects the skyline view.

Within each home, residents are presented with a grand living and dining room, featuring furnishings, textiles, and fittings curated by Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman and Sir David Adjaye.

Opening out onto the outdoor living areas, the living room offers city-wide views, clean lines, and sleek furnishings from the Aston Martin Home Collection by Formitalia, with every piece made in Italy. The sofas and armchairs combine elements of leather, metal, and fabric, as well as beautiful detailing, to evoke the richly crafted and tactile qualities of Aston Martin’s automotive interiors.

Located adjacent to the Dining Room is an open plan kitchen which features custom textured blackened oak Italian cabinetry, state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances, marble countertops hand-selected from the Apuan Alps in Tuscany, Italy, and a cantilevered Nero Marquina marble top, which provides additional bar seating.

The master bedroom offers crisp, clean lines and beautiful detailing, combined with warm, inviting materials to ensure it is a private sanctuary. The bedroom features an expansive bed with custom cashmere headboard cushions and slender metal detailing, alongside bedside tables and side tables by Formitalia. It also includes spacious walk-in closets, wall-mounted lighting by Boffi, a Flos light track system, and a lounge chair by Hans Wegner.

In terms of customization, new owners will have the option of turning one of the rooms (in the two and three-bedroom homes) into a racing simulator room, home office, library space, or another bedroom.

The simulator room is the perfect choice for true auto enthusiasts with Aston Martin Design collaborating with Curv Racing Simulators, a new British technology company founded by Darren Turner (three-time class winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Aston Martin and an industry-leading expert in racing simulation technology) to create the ultimate in luxury home racing simulators.

Alternatively, one of the rooms could be turned into a private office and library space designed for working and relaxing. A custom-designed desk is paired with a classic Eames chair, and the room also features a lounge chair by Swoon and stool by Space Copenhagen. The office provides generous storage and display spaces, including black wood shelves and cabinets with smoked glass placed alongside textured Salvatori marble walls.

Bathrooms include textured Italian Salvatori marble throughout. In the master bathroom, a Salvatori solid carved marble soaking tub and carved marble double vanity sinks are paired with a spacious walk-in shower and private water closet. Secondary bathrooms incorporate Grigio Versilia marble, and Bianco Carrera marble with powder rooms in a bamboo textured Grigia Versilia marble.

130 William Adjaye Special Edition Aston Martin DBX

As part of the collaboration, Sir David Adjaye has also designed the “130 William Adjay Special Edition Aston Martin DBX” that will be included in the sale of each of the five limited-edition residences.

The 130 William Adjaye Special Edition Aston Martin DBX marks the first time that Aston Martin has collaborated with an architect on one of their signature vehicles’ custom fit-out. Taking inspiration from the materials, textures, and atmosphere of 130 William, Adjaye worked with Aston Martin to create a unique DBX design with highly crafted interiors and custom paintwork that reflected the building’s architecture.

The DBX Special Edition also marks the debut of real stone accents, with Grey “Pietra D’Avola” marble inlays matched with Satin Walnut wood.

Aston Martin’s traditional hand-stitched leather includes Parliament Green trim and steering wheel from Aston Martin’s in-house customization service, “Q by Aston Martin,” matching the walls of the simulator room option, and deep, multi-layered paintwork in a Q by Aston Martin bespoke color inspired by 130 William’s exterior, complete with subtle hints of green.

The interior includes carved solid walnut trim, with Q by Aston Martin Parliament Green leatherwork and details in bronze, black anodized aluminum, and real stone.

Corcoran Group is exclusively handling sales of the Aston Martin Residences at 130 William priced at $11,500,000 for PH60A (penthouse), $10,500,000 for PH60B (penthouse), and $3,985,000 for L59A, $5,985,000 for L59B and $10,000,000 for L59C.

Each residence will include a 130 William Adjaye Special Edition Aston Martin DBX.
