437 p. ; ill. ; col. ; 28cm. Dallas-based architecture firm Droese Raney approaches each project with a generosity of spirit and sense of enthusiasm that encompasses not only client and design but also the physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being of the greater community. The result is a series of buildings and interiors that uses the principles of modern architecture to create comfortable, informal settings; attends to small details and to complex urban contents; highlights the contributions of artists and artisans; and above all tells a story of a specific time and place. The 16 projects in Droese Raney x Design include retail outlets for Billy Reid, the Conservatory, and Neighborhood Goods, each highlighting a distinct, individualized brand; urban redevelopments such as Good-E and 2800 Main, which transform dilapidated historic structures into lively commercial and entertainment zones; and restaurants including José and Mi Cocina, which bring artisanal traditions to contemporary venues. Especially notable are Forty Five Ten, a four-story department store appointed entirely in Knoll furniture and textiles, and the Warehouse, a 31,000-square-foot space for art exhibition and storage. Interspersed between the projects are five first-person narratives from Droese Raney's noted clients and collaborators as well as a sixth with the "insider view" from the firm itself -- adapted from Amazon 16 DESIGN X BASICS -- 20 Billy Reid -- Collaboration: Billy Reid -- 48 Neighborhood Goods -- 74 Hatchways -- 94 DESIGN X PROGRESS -- 98 Good E -- 130 2800 Main -- 154 DESIGN X DESIRE -- 158 Forty Five Ten -- Collaboration: Dorothy Cosonas -- 210 The Warehouse -- Collaboration: Howard Rachofsky -- 240 The Conservatory -- Collaboration: Brian Bolke -- 264 DESIGN X CULTURE -- 268 José -- Collaboration: José Noé Suro -- 290 Personal Office -- 304 Mi Cocina -- 332 DESIGN X BALANCE -- 336 Angie’s Condo -- 348 Flying R Ranch -- 366 Rheims Residence -- 382 Geisler Residence -- 404 DESIGN X VISION -- 408 Sylvan/Pollard -- Collaboration: Droese Raney -- 434 Project Credits -- 437 Acknowledgments -- [Drose Raney] written with Ian Volner.
