When husband-and-wife restaurateurs Natalie Johnson and Nick Anderer approached architect David Bucovy about designing their latest New York project, Leon’s, they presented him with fragments of seashells and ceramics that they had found on the beach of Naples, Italy.

Traditionally, the Upper East Side has been an old society stomping ground; the moniker conjures images of Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Bloomingdales, Rockefellers and Roosevelts. But, for the first time in some time (let’s not forget that this was the home of Andy Warhol’s Factory, a hotbed for artists, musicians and celebrities in the 1960s), the monied youth are moving in.

The glamour of old Hollywood filters through the redesign of a mid-century home in Los Angeles’ prestigious Holmby Hills enclave. To illustrate her vision for the home, owner Mary Kitchen invented a history and former occupant: a Beverly Hills ‘grand dame’ who lived through the 1960s heyday of LA, leaving behind the original furnishings and architecture, so Kitchen could add her own flavour.

This approach to design has remained consistent since he founded his eponymous studio in 2016, as his projects have grown in scale and ambition.
