Ray showcases his innovative designs and explores the next phase of his career trajectory in his newest book — THE EXPRESSIVE HOME: ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIORS — which further distinguishes him as a master of modern elegance and reveals his gifts for architecture and interiors.
Creating spaces that are both strikingly sophisticated and wonderfully livable, Ray’s exteriors and interiors display a harmonious blend of traditional and contemporary elements with an appealingly timeless aesthetic. This exquisitely designed tome presents his forward-thinking vision and features projects that he’s envisioned, designed, built from the ground up, and decorated alongside those he’s reimagined and renovated from the inside out. It offers readers a unique vantage point – that of architect, interior designer, and furniture designer – and illustrates Ray’s gift for putting design to work for each client and site.
Through captivating photography and thoughtful prose, this volume explores Ray’s current breadth of work with eleven spectacular homes that span the country—from a dramatic Los Angeles hillside dwelling with expansive windows to a contemporary Nashville home that marries stone, metal, and wood, to his own Provincetown seaside getaway with an unexpected cutting-edge style. The projects show how Ray pushes the boundaries of design while imbuing spaces with soul.
