Spring 2026 | 17 fter a career producing music videos for artists such as the Rolling Stones and Aerosmith—and later creating award-winning commercials and long-form advertising for some of the world’s leading agencies—Thomas Fanning turned his attention to architecture, design, and real estate development. The result was Bowery Design Group, a residential architecture and interior design firm based in Los Angeles working across the West Coast, across the United States, and internationally, with projects spanning Central America, India, and Africa. The studio specializes in luxury modern homes, some valued at nearly $80 million. Bowery’s approach combines bold architectural vision with meticulous attention to detail—designing homes that make a strong architectural statement while remaining highly livable for the people who inhabit them. The firm works with both private homeowners and property developers, helping clients maximize the potential and long-term value of each property through thoughtful design and strategic planning. At its core, Bowery Design Group aims to redefine modern luxury living through architecture that is innovative, refined, and deeply connected to its surroundings. From the coastal landscapes of Malibu to the streets of Beverly Hills and destinations across the globe, the studio blends visionary design with a practical understanding of how people live. “I’ve always believed the best homes are the ones that could only exist in that exact place, for that exact client. Every site has its own character, and every client has a different vision for how they want to live. Our goal is to bring those two things together to create something truly exceptional— architecture that feels thoughtful, intentional, and completely unique to its setting and the people who live there.” For more than two decades, Bowery Design Group has focused exclusively on the design of modern single-family homes. This singular focus has allowed the firm to develop a depth of expertise and experience that is difficult to replicate, refining a process that consistently delivers exceptional results for discerning clients. The studio provides a comprehensive design experience that spans architecture, development, and interior design, ensuring every aspect of a home is carefully considered and thoughtfully integrated. By approaching each project holistically, Bowery creates residences where architecture, interiors, and landscape work together seamlessly—resulting in homes that feel both architecturally significant and deeply personal. A look through Bowery Design Group’s portfolio quickly reveals the studio’s deep experience designing modern single-family homes. Over more than two decades, the firm has developed a reputation for creating highly considered residences that respond directly to their setting while delivering a refined and contemporary living experience. Rather than adhering to a fixed architectural style, Bowery approaches each project individually, allowing the site, views, and client’s lifestyle to shape the design. Expansive glazing, carefully detailed metalwork, and natural materials are often used to frame the landscape and bring light deep into the home, creating spaces that feel open, modern, and closely connected to their surroundings. While Los Angeles remains central to the firm’s work, Bowery’s projects increasingly extend beyond California. Recent commissions in locations including India, the UAE, Europe, Latin America, and the French West Indies highlight the firm’s growing international presence and its ability to bring the same site-driven approach to projects around the world. Across every project, Bowery Design Group remains focused on creating exceptional modern homes—residences shaped by their environment, designed around the people who live in them, and built to stand apart.
