The dramatic architecture of Aston Martin\'s new Gaydon, Warwickshire, home and the elegant materials used, including Scotch Buff sandstone supplied and fixed by Realstone, reflect the quality of the design and finish of the cars themselves.

Aston Martin\'s new state-of-the-art facility at Gaydon is the the work of archietct Paul Mulligan from Weedon Partnership, Birmingham. It comprises an office block and adjoining production building.

The office block is two floors high with two entrances, one for staff and visitors and the other for customers.

The Scotch Buff from Realstone has a character that complements the simple design of the building.

The stone and design of the building were chosen to reflect the technology and tradition of Aston Martin and was perfectly expressed by Dr Ulrich Bez, the chief executive officer of Aston Martin, when he said: "Gaydon is the future of Aston Martin. It combines cutting-edge technology with hand-craftsmanship and tradition. It is probably the best facility of its type in the world, and the perfect showcase of how to design and build innovative sports cars."
