Robert Stone (b. August 15, 1968 in Palm Springs, California) attended the University of California at Berkeley for bachelor's and master's degrees in architectural studies, however regularly cites Los Angeles artists as his primary influences.[1]
Stone is best known for his solo-built houses in the Southern California desert town of Joshua Tree, California. Rosa Muerta is a monochrome black indoor/outdoor pavilion which mixes Japanese references, Minimalism (of the art variety), and Lowrider Baroque.[2] Acido Dorado is a metallic gold house with mirrored accents.[3] Both houses use simple materials and careful details which Stone creates himself.[4]
The houses have been published in Wallpaper,[5] Abitare,[6] Architectural Digest (US, France, Russia editions), Interior Design,[7] Elle Décor (UK, France, China editions), Mark Magazine, Design Bureau, Glamour, Playboy (France),The Los Angeles Times,[8][9][10] Surface Magazine, and Taschen's Architecture Now. Stones's new approach to architecture was adopted early by fashion photographers and has appeared in many fashion shoots.
