Who says great automotive design can’t translate to other genres? Watches, boats, planes, and this time around, it’s a home worked up by Aston Martin designers and S3 Architecture. Located in New York’s Hudson Valley, Sylvan Rock is the British carmaker’s first private residential home design. It uses beautiful copious amounts of blackened cedar and glass for its 5,983 square feet that contains four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two half baths, a three-car garage, a custom wine cellar, a pool, and a sizable pool house. There are also “pod” guest houses for friends you like but perhaps don’t love, and a legit treehouse that will make a kid out of anyone. Situated amid gorgeous woods, Sylvan Rock can be reached via a 2,000-ft driveway lined with trees and a rock wall that preps you for the modern home that somehow magically fits in with its surroundings.
