Island Stone and the LA based 2012 House of Rock

October 12th, 2012

While few can claim to have lived it, we all can appreciate the style and design that accompanies the rock & roll lifestyle. Looking to infuse this spirit into a landmark home in Santa Monica, designer Elaine Culotti  along with diverse team of notable designers completely remodel this classic property including Island Stone in a host of areas as they created the inaugural House of Rock.

As its name reflect, The 2012 House of Rock is a luxury rock inspired redesign of the former home of actress/singer Kathryn Grayson that pays homage to some of the most notable music icons of past and present.

The 1926 built house features various rooms inspired by specific stars including the  E-Street Band, Tina Turner and Fleetwood Mac. While designed to include some of the most advanced and sophisticated modern technologies, including a multimillion dollar professional recording studio at the top floor, the details in the finishes reflect the appeal of incorporating classic designs and modern materials.

With a diverse range of Island Stone glass formats including Boulevard, Waveline Mini and Artifact featured throughout the home, arguably the most impressive display of Island Stone materials is seen in the Strip Pebble liner that wraps the infinity pool and tub overlooking the Riviera Country Club outside the home.  The pool is matched with a covered cabana uniquely tiled with Absolute Pebble from floor to ceiling.

The lavish California home will go on the market  at the end of the year
