Stone went on to design a group of houses for Mr. and Mrs. Henry Luce and also worked on Carl Koch's parent's home where he used cloistered gardens to protect the home visually from the Victorian homes of Cambridge surrounding it.

luxury villa
The Calliope Villa is located on the south side of the Greece Island (the World) and is detached from the island by a sparkling waterway. A wooden pathway leads you to your intimately designed villa suspended over the sea – a hideaway built on two levels ranging from 4,000 square feet of interior and exterior space. Inside you are presented with dynamic fluidity that gives you a breathtaking ocean view through the floor-to-ceiling glass entrance, while the villas’ pathway side is interspersed with sheltered square windows ensuring the utmost in privacy.
The villa has a ground level terrace that descends gently toward the sea and rooftop terrace featuring a sauna, corner bar and lounge; it even has the luxury of its own infinity pool so you can swim under the stars. Furniture of the highest design fits perfectly with the stylish interiors that show attention to every detail.
