Robert Cox was born and raised in central North Carolina, where he learned to love art and architecture from his grandmother, a prolific painter of the rural landscape.
After receiving a BA in Art History from Wake Forest University, he moved to New York, where he received a Masters in Architecture from Columbia University. After graduate school, he went on to work at Robert A.M. Stern Architects in NYC, where he collaborated on multiple project types, including high-end single family homes and large-scale residential buildings.
He is a licensed architect and member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA).
Robert and his husband, Matt, recently finished a full restoration of a 1920s home in Raleigh, NC, where they live with their baby son, Charlie.
