Otto Stonorov was born in 1975 in Fairbanks Alaska. Formative years were mixed between rural Alaska and the Pennsylvanian countryside outside of Philadelphia. As an undergraduate he attended the University of Montana, Missoula. He was conferred the degree of Masters of Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley in 2004.
His studies were interspersed with extensive travel throughout the United States as well as South East Asia and Europe. Architectural work requirements were met at design and construction firms in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In addition to the expected influences of travel, work and education his Architectural views owe heavily to the practical legacy of family and friends, who, as a matter of course, are involved in art, planning, preservation and building at all scales.
