Klaus Steinke & Jane Lee

2 stories in the archive, 2019–2020. Published in Casino Design 2020, Casino Design 2019. Filed under Featured Articles. Bylines are reproduced as the magazine printed them, and every story a contributor signed stays live at its original address. Where a biography ran with the story it appears below; where the magazine printed none, the record is the work itself. Contributors to an annual are a mix of staff editors, industry practitioners writing on their own projects and freelance reporters, and the magazine did not distinguish between them on the page — the section a story ran in is usually the better guide to how it was commissioned.

2 stories sit under the Klaus Steinke & Jane Lee byline, published between 2019 and 2020. They came out of 2 issues of the magazine, Casino Design 2020 carrying the most at 1. The longest of them is Sweating the Small Stuff.

Across the sections of the magazine they break down as Gaming Floor (1) and Development (1). The design moves that come back most often here are theming (2), smoke-free floors (2) and carpet (2), counted by reading the text of every story rather than from tags. The practices named more than once are SOSH Architects (2), HBG Design (2) and Cuningham Group Architecture (2), each with its own page in the firm directory. The contributor index holds 31 names and 143 signed stories. In order, the set runs Sweating the Small Stuff and The $50 Million Budget: Real Renovation.

What follows is the archive as the magazine left it, sorted rather than summarised. Headlines keep their original addresses, the issue each story ran in stays with it, and where two stories disagree about a property both are kept: the earlier one is what was planned, the later one is what was built. Reading them in that order is usually more instructive than either on its own, which is why nothing has been quietly superseded or removed.
