Milano The School of Design

Istituto Marangoni Milano Design offers an extraordinary opportunity for Interior Contract Design Master's students through the “Aston Martin Residence” project, led by renowned architect and designer Carlo Colombo. This educational initiative, in collaboration with the iconic British automotive brand and the developer Dar Global, seeks to translate Aston Martin’s legendary design language into the world of luxury residential interiors.

A Prestigious Collaboration

The “Aston Martin Residence” will take shape in the vibrant heart of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, a premier destination that blends luxury, innovation, and entertainment. This marks Aston Martin’s first real estate venture in the Middle East, bringing its signature elegance and attention to detail to the upscale residential market.

Strategically located just 10 minutes from Abu Dhabi International Airport and a short 30-minute drive from downtown, the residence promises a unique living experience. Residents will enjoy breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and access to world-class amenities, including private beaches, infinity pools, fitness centres, and luxury spas.
