Aston Martin, Vibroa develops luxury estate in Japan

Aston Martin is not just designing cars — but also homes. The British carmaker struck a new partnership with property leader Vibroa, which saw the development of the first luxury home in Asia designed by the car brand.

Per the United Kingdom (UK)-based automotive brand, it is applying its design mastery to the world of Japanese real estate as the two companies began the design and construction of № 001 Minami Aoyama: a stunning private home in the highly desirable Omotesando area of Minami Aoyama, renowned as one of Tokyo’s foremost architectural and style centers.

The luxurious residence is said to feature an automotive gallery, a wine cellar, a home cinema, a gym, and a private spa.

“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 favor through our first ultra-luxury collaboration in Asia with Vibroa by tailoring our Aston Martin real estate design principles specifically to the № 001 Minami property,” said Aston Martin Executive Vice President (EVP) and Chief Creative Officer (CCO) Marek Reichman.

“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,” he added.

The new design partnership with Vibroa forms part of Aston Martin’s wider strategic growth plans in Japan, with the brand seeking to capitalize on the market’s huge commercial potential and increasing consumer demand.

“Vibroa is committed to providing our clients with a priceless experience and added value in the world of luxury real estate through access to the world’s finest products and services. We are therefore delighted to be working with such an iconic ultra-luxury brand as Aston Martin, whose renowned design philosophy and expertise brings a unique dimension not just to this home, but the wider world of real estate in Japan,” commented Vibroa Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Toshiyuki Yoshida.

The four-story home, complete with a roof terrace and stunning views of Tokyo, is already sold to a private buyer and is scheduled for completion in November 2023.
