A boutique-type showroom set in the city center of Kobe. 
While imagining the design that became known as the Bond car, we created a space 
where you can feel how these cars combine elegance and high performance. Aston 
Martin created a design code in its home country and started to spread it worldwide. 
Today, this standardization of form is used to strengthen Corporate Identity. Therefore, 
the specific demands for materials and the precise implementation of details were 
carefully met, while freely designing a space that is adequate to the brand that it 
represents.

However, even though the brand has a rare and expensive look, the architectural 
appearance does not have to stand out, but rather set a frame for appreciating the cars 
in the familiar scenery of the city. The facade functions as a catalyst that enhances the 
car, while at the same time, integrating the building into the surrounding environment 
and cityscape.

It is a showroom with unique characteristics, that is set as a frame that blends into the 
city and is filled with the elegance and performance of the Aston Martin car.

For this project, we wanted to study profoundly the creation of representative spaces in 
accordance with Corporate Identity. It was a pleasure to realize that we were working in 
the same way, that I felt we did when I was young. With this approach, after certain 
initial decisions are taken, the space will emerge into an authentic environment by 
itself. This delicate take is exactly the way how this special car, the Aston Martin, 
should be exhibited in this environment.
