His next loft donned the cover of Elle Décor and 20 other magazines throughout the world. His iconic Clearhouse on Shelter Island was photographed for a TSE Cashmere Campaign and for Tod’s by legendary photographer Elliott Erwitt. Stuart’s most recent architectural design is Marble House Tribeca, a 10,000 square foot townhouse with a 44-ft lap pool set in a quarried room wrapped entirely in Carrara marble. Marble House has already been featured in a nunber of prominent magazines. Stuart is currently involved with the design of a penthouse at Neil Denari-designed HL23 project. In addition to design, Stuart developed and co-produced the acclaimed hit film “8 Mile”, “Get Rich or Die Tryin”, and is working on several additional film projects, including “Loving Frank”, based on the life of Frank Lloyd Wright, and an untitled Nina Simone project due to be released this summer. In addition, Stuart manages world-renowned designer Marc Newson, and recently oversaw the development of Newson Aquarama Super by famed Italian boatmaker, Riva. Since 2006, Newson has been a permanent artist with the Gagosian Gallery, selling out show in both New York and London, with all production managed by Stuart.
