Los Angeles-based architect Robert Stone designed Acido Dorado, a gold
house that is a mirage in a Southern California desert. This abstract
house features a sloped roof and a tinted glass grid among steel
ironwork that distinguishes the house, creating a golden shimmer on the
sandy landscape. The glass walls make way for bright, light-filled
interiors which exude minimalist elegance in their aesthetic of peace
and serenity. Echoing the striking facade, the indoors are finished in a
simple palette of white which shimmers gold and champagne in the warm
sunlight. Set into the glass of the front of the house, a large heart
figure puts a unique stamp on this unusual desert residence.
