Autumn Rise!

Amy, you lift our spirits, invigorate our thoughts about travel and place, and capture our imagination.

Hopefully the beaded gown is tucked away to be slipped under the Christmas tree. You will elevate its original design.

It is so exciting that you met Peter Marino! Now he will have reinvigorated thoughts about Dallas where he has done three houses.

Nancy Marcus brought him to Dallas almost 30 years ago to do the renovation design of her home at 6801 Turtle Creek. Cinda Hicks, who had known Peter Marino since just after college, then retained him for the renovation and expansion of the Crespi Estate. After that, the late Bobby Haas, who created a motorcycle museum in Dallas ,retained him to design a new home on Jourdan way.

Peter Marino is best known for the retail spaces he has designed but has also done brilliant residential design. I recall, a while back, I was being interviewed about Dallas Architects for an hour on a Kera radio show. The very last question was what was my favorite house in Dallas. I quickly said 6801 Turtle Creek.

Amy, now you are on the forefront of architecturally significant homes in Dallas- both historic and new. One of the reasons I love Dallas is because it has people like you who love good design and who perpetuate an inspired aesthetic. There is a reason Dallas has the best collection of 20th and 21st century architecturally significant homes in the country.

Thank you for representing Dallas well in Paris, and bringing ideas about food, fashion and architecture back to Dallas.

So pleased to read an Amy in Paris •••

Thank you!

Douglas
