Avant-garde architect stuns with completion of new 5BR gated estate in Rancho Mirage. This exciting interpretation of ''new desert architecture'' on 3.83 ac. of a former date field inspires awe, appreciation and a desire to leave stylistic labels at the gate. Designed by award-winning Robert Stone,whose gold metallic Acido Dorado in Joshua Tree is a cultural icon for the art, fashion and design worlds, this 3BR home and 2BR guest house blend elements of desert vernacular, from classic modernism to Spanish, in flexible spaces for living, working and entertaining. Stone's dynamic collaboration with designer Tom Sudinsky reinvigorates familiar forms in an optimistic, contemporary expression. From a crocodile-textured kitchen with bespoke stainless hardware (Prada handbag meets Japanese Tansu) to the paneled-mirror living room ceiling with disappearing integrated lighting, every detail is intensely considered. Sloped roofs clad in futuristic silver tiles touch the terrain while framing palms in unique cut-outs. Spectacular Western views reach through a massive round window and hand-arranged metallic blockwork functions as sculpture. An Olympic-length pool connects the homes, firepits, spas and expansive grounds--perfect for garages, stables, lighted courts or studios. More than a residence, this work of art holds the power to ignite the design world's imagination. Years in the making, it elevates daily pleasures, entertains on any scale and will never fail to leave one speechless
