Aston Martin’s design language extends well beyond luxury cars. From helicopters to boats the British marque has now tried its hand at the luxury home, the latest of which sees a collection of five exclusive homes available for purchase in the enviable 130 William building – New York City’s premier new luxury residential development.
Together with developer Lightstone, architect Sir David Adjaye and Aston Martin’s Chief Creative Officer Marek Reichman have worked select residence’s custom furnishings and architecture.
Adjate is responsible for the entire vision of 130 William – designing both interior and exterior elements – which holds 242 residences at over 244-metres and 66 storeys.
The exception being five fully furnished Aston Martin collaborated homes located on the 59th and 60th floors of 130 William with each featuring a private, expansive loggia spanning the entire length of the residence, while bespoke screens divide balconies into a series of distinct zones for dining and relaxing.
Furnishings boast a curated selection of handcrafted materials and textiles from the acclaimed Aston Martin Home Collection by Reichman and Adjaye with other nods to the British marque’s crosshatch pattern – found here in bronze – alongside a smoked glass mirror engineered by Aston Martin and which reflects the city’s skyline.
The flowing spaces combine with the kitchen featuring custom textured blackened oak Italian cabinetry, Gaggenau appliances, marble countertops and a cantilevered Nero Marquina marble top – which acts as additional bar seating.
Bathrooms feature a textured Italian Salvtori marble throughout with the master featuring a solid carved marble bathtub and carved marble double vanity sinks alongside a walk-in shower.
Of the master suite expect an expansive bed with custom cashmere headboard cushions, slender metal detailing alongside bedsides by Formitalia, spacious walk-in closets and wall-mounted lighting by Boffi.
Buyers will have the option of customising one of the rooms in the two-and three-bedroom homes in a racing simulator, an office and library space or bedroom.
As something of a sweetener, owners will also receive the 130 William Adjaye Special Edition Aston Martin DBX in a bespoke colour inspired by the building’s exterior and which features unique elements such as real stone accents, marble inlays matched with satin walnut wood interior finishes and leathers that includes ‘parliament green’ trim and a steering wheel from Aston Martin’s customisation service, ‘Q by Aston Martin.’

A Mid-Century Modern home in Carmel, California, hit the market on Friday for just the third time in 70 years with a listing price of $4.25 million.
Located in the community of Carmel Highlands, the house is just steps from the coastline and comes with private beach access, according to the listing with Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California. Allen was not immediately available for comment.
The property last changed hands in 2010 when Hollywood screenwriter Richard Outten bought it for $990,000, public records show. Outten penned the screenplays for the 1992 movie “Pet Sematary Two” and the 1987 film “Lionheart,” and created the story for the 2012 “Journey to the Center of the Earth” sequel, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” He was not immediately available for comment.
Built in 1953, the home’s mid-century charm has been preserved over the years while still being updated for modern living. Interior details include wood paneling, exposed-brick walls and beamed ceilings.
The single-level house has 1,785 square feet, which includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Though not directly on the water, large windows flanking the adobe-brick, wood-burning fireplace look out at the ocean.
Sliding glass doors create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, there’s a large patio surrounded by lush landscaping, and there are also meandering paths through sustainable succulent gardens, according to the listing.
In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the home is a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
As of July, the median list price in Carmel is $3.1 million, up 8% from last year, even as active listings have increased 50% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
