Cleo Design

Cleo Design is named in 5 stories in the archive, 2009–2019. The list is built from the text of the stories themselves and from the credit blocks the magazine printed with them, so it shows where the practice was reported on rather than everything it has built. A name may appear as design architect, architect of record, interior designer or contractor, and the story says which; the guide to reading a credit block explains why the distinction matters.

5 stories sit under Cleo Design, published between 2009 and 2019. They came out of 2 issues of the magazine, Casino Design 2019 carrying the most at 4. The longest of them is The Technology Revolution.

Across the sections of the magazine they break down as Gaming Floor (2), Development (1), Interiors (1) and Architecture (1). The design moves that come back most often here are theming (2), counted by reading the text of every story rather than from tags. The practices named more than once are Cleo Design (5), SOSH Architects (2) and HBG Design (2), each with its own page in the firm directory. In order, the set runs The Technology Revolution, The $50 Million Budget: Real Renovation, Category Killer, Crowning Achievement and Interesting Interiors. 4 bylines appear on them — Casino Design Staff, Klaus Steinke & Jane Lee, Frank Legato and Marjorie Preston — and each contributor has a page listing everything of theirs the archive holds.

Stories are listed newest first, with the issue each one ran in printed beside the headline. Nothing has been rewritten to fit the new sections: every page carries the text the magazine published, at the address it was published at, and the rubric is an index laid over the archive rather than a replacement for it. A story can therefore turn up under more than one heading — a resort tower that is an architecture story in its massing and a hospitality story in its rooms sits in both, and follows the same link either way.
