"Marek Reichman has crafted with Sir David Adjaye five fully furnished exclusive homes that are located on the 59th and 60th floors of 130 William and feature a unique and highly distinctive Aston Martin design identity.

130 William is New York’s premier new luxury residential development interiors which includes 242 residences, over 20,000 square feet of amenities, and a new plaza park. The building stands approximately 800 feet tall (244 meters), and at 66 stories makes a bold architectural statement set against the Manhattan skyline.

The owners of these five beautiful homes will also be able to travel in style in a Sir David Adjaye designed 130 William Adjaye Special Edition Aston Martin DBX.

The 130 William Adjaye Special Edition Aston Martin DBX marks the first time that we have collaborated with an architect on the custom fit out of one of our signature vehicles.

I think this email exemplifies one of Aston's biggest problems, and not surprisingly that of a lot of other firms when their management is overrun with hubris and loses sight of the core product.

I submit that Mr. Reichman would do better to concentrate on designing cars in the future, and preferably at another company. Either that or join an architectural firm.

 

Yes, received.

I think they are just using the Aston brand as a license deal; like they have for other properties.

Since Andy left, Marek is taking the #2 role AML and less with designing. Of course still overseas it.

 

I got it but have to say no thanks.....if I was going for Aston branded housing this would be it.

Demonstration again of a complete lack of focus which is shocking given the huge challenges they are facing:

 

Good article, haven't seen that one before. Sounds like it will be another year before we see redesigns so FY2021 will be written off except for the DBx. DBx cars are hitting lots so looks like the old playbook is continuing and not made-to-order as much as we are lead to believe. I guess the good news is that if you like the current car design prices will drop once the redesigns are out and pick-up a good deal.

 

The fact that they are putting DBXs on dealer lots is not a good sign. I cant see any of the current line up holding value very well.
