"A space shaped by emotion and light — where cultures meet in quiet harmony."

AL-NOOR. LOBBY.

The lobby we named Al-Noor, meaning “the light” in Arabic. Important to say that so as to honor the location and its heritage, we’ve drawn inspiration from the Arabic language for the naming of each zone.

‍With a member of the team representing Arab culture, we felt it was important to pay tribute to this context and create a deeper connection between the design and its surroundings.

A sleek and welcoming space that blends warm golden tones with a tactile, luxurious feel — making every arrival feel like the start of an unforgettable journey.

OASIS VILLA AT AL-TARAF. APARTMENT.

Oasis Villa at Al-Taraf is a two-storey residence that reimagines luxury living through the lens of Aston Martin’s design language and Eastern architectural sensibility. Located on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the villa blends sculptural form, refined materials, and emotional design to create a seamless dialogue between performance and serenity.

The ground floor is centered around openness and flow, with a discreetly zoned layout that balances public space and private service areas. Signature elements — such as curved walls, green metallic accents, and a floating staircase in custom oak — echo the aerodynamic elegance of a grand tourer. The living spaces feature bespoke furnishings, movable light-partitions, and tactile surfaces like Budri travertine, Astico leather, and goldtone finishes.

On the upper level, two master suites offer panoramic views, walk-in wardrobes, and spa-like bathrooms with sculptural fixtures and iconic materials. Adaptive zoning, rich textures, and warm lighting create an atmosphere of calm, clarity, and understated sophistication.

Oasis Villa is more than architecture — it is a curated experience of timeless motion, material precision, and Aston Martin’s signature legacy reinterpreted through space.

NAWAEEM. POOL.

The Al-Naim pool zone is more than a place to swim — it is a space of inner calm, joy, and sculptural precision. Drawing inspiration from the Aston Martin DBX, its form language is present in every curve: from the sleek silhouette of the pool to jacuzzis echoing the car’s iconic headlights. Even the floating steps and bar island take cues from the DBX’s fluid body lines, creating a sense of motion and lightness.

The layout is centered around experience — with a dynamic central bar, immersive lighting, and a flowing circulation inspired by performance design. At night, the pool transforms into an ambient landscape of glow and reflection, reminiscent of an Aston Martin terrace after dark.

The material palette blends natural stone, warm wood, and deep blue accents, combining tactile softness with timeless contrast. Lush greenery, floating umbrellas that become lanterns by night, and custom carbon-fiber cabanas fuse biophilic design with automotive elegance. Adjustable sunshades, yachting fabrics, and bespoke stitching all speak to Aston Martin’s devotion to craftsmanship, innovation, and understated luxury.

NAWAEEM. SPA.

A flowing spatial composition designed to enhance sensory comfort and intuitive movement.

‍Treatment zones, relaxation areas, and transition spaces are thoughtfully arranged to support a seamless wellness experience rooted in peace and privacy.

AL-CIRIUS. CINEMA.

Inspired by Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, this bespoke cinema fuses Aston Martin’s precision with the poetic elegance of the Abu Dhabi desert. Like the seasonal brilliance of Sirius over the city, the cinema glows as a refined retreat — a place where cinematic magic and brand identity meet.

Designed with curved lines and tiered seating for optimal sightlines, acoustics, and comfort, the space echoes Aston Martin’s signature sculptural fluidity. Deep blacks, midnight blues, and soft golds evoke the mystery of night, while custom lighting recreates the brand’s iconic silhouette effect.

Every element is crafted with intention — from the racing-inspired lounge chairs upholstered in green perforated leather and carbon fiber accents, to the gold-lined forms recalling Arabic lanterns and car contours. The seat numbered 14 pays subtle tribute to Fernando Alonso, connecting performance heritage with narrative depth.

Al-Sirius is not just a cinema — it’s a curated experience of speed, shadow, and sensory immersion. A jewel-like space where design and emotion converge under the guiding light of Aston Martin.
