建筑是最具颠覆性的艺术。它包围着我们，覆盖着我们，爱抚着我们。尽管建筑设计事务所Max Strang设计的著名的石屋（Rock House）位于迈阿密郁郁葱葱的城市绿洲椰树林（Coconut Grove）中，这座房子却使住在里面的人穿越海洋和现实，进入充满巴厘岛和斯里兰卡低语的神奇绝妙替代品中，并随处可见印度和东南亚丰富的文化遗产。技术上令人惊叹，外形上出类拔萃，这座住宅与其周围的环境，敞开式的室内空间以及对当地材料（在这种情况下，是迈阿密当地的人造石灰岩）的使用相互作用，象征了Strang的理念和生态友好型现代主义的建筑价值。石屋（Rock House）曾多次获奖，并在电影院和电视上备受赞誉，是现代住宅建筑的瑰宝之一。

Architecture is the most transformative of the arts. It surrounds us, envelops us, caresses us. Despite being located in Miami's lush urban oasis of Coconut Grove, Max Strang's iconic Rock House transports its occupants across oceans and realities, into a magically sublime alternative full of whispers of Bali and Sri Lanka, and echoes of the rich cultural legacy of India and Southeast Asia. Technically stunning, and formally exceptional, the houses interaction with its environment, open-plan, and use of local materials (in this case, Miami's local oolitic limestone), is emblematic of Strang's philosophy and architectural values of eco-friendly modernism. Winner of multiple awards, and fêted in cinema and on television alike, the Rock House is one of modern residential architecture's treasures.
