DANIEL’S DISH TAKING WING The ultimate French comfort food, coq au vin, gets a dash of international flair when paired with an unexpected side dish, spaetzle. BY DANIEL BOULUD My grandmother used to make a coq au vin Classic coq au vin gets an update when paired in which she braised pieces of rooster or with spaetzle. The chicken with wine, shallots, mushrooms, flatware is by Arte Italica. See Resources. and pancetta. Her version was delicious, but it wasn’t until I was working alongside the great chef Georges Blanc that I truly under- stood just how sublime this French country classic could be. This was early in Blanc’s career, before he transformed his family’s inn, La Mère Blanc, located in the village of Vonnas in the foothills of Burgundy, into one of France’s most beautiful restau- rants. At the time I worked there, the local farmers’ market and slaughterhouse were directly across the street. Very fresh! At 10 a.m. the farmers would march in, take their seats at the bar, and order plates of coq au vin. For them it was a snack, or a casse- croute, as we called it. Blanc’s variation of the dish had an intensity of flavor and color that resulted from reducing the wine before using it to marinate the poultry. In France, the recipe calls for a rooster, as per its name, but I often substitute a good- quality farm- raised chicken. Pasta is the usual accom- paniment, but at DB Bistro Moderne our former chef Olivier Muller, who is from the Alsace region of France, liked to pair it with spaetzle. Sauté the pasta dumplings in a nonstick pan; they’ll take on a crunchi- ness that marries perfectly with the rich and concentrated red wine sauce.

SAN FRANCISCO surge in high-rise housing attracts thousands of new residents. World-class restaurants are legion. “Whether in architecture, art, food, or fashion,” says interior designer Jay Jeffers, “San Francisco feels like a city awakening from a long slumber.” It may not be surprising that so much creative change is happening away from the city center. The traditionally Latino Mission District, with its colorful buildings and markets, is still a great place for a burrito. But it’s becoming equally well known for such punchy restaurants as Mission Chinese Food, where chef Danny Bowien serves his amped-up take on classic Chinese dishes behind a nondescript facade (the awning still bears the name of the former occupant, a take- out joint).

SAN FRANCISCO this neighborhood feel a little bit like Brooklyn’s Williamsburg these days. The neighborhoods in the southern part of the city are exploding for a very practical reason— their proximity to the freeways that lead to Silicon Valley. The trendiest at the moment is Dogpatch, a residential area a stone’s throw from AT&T ball- park. At first sight, this enclave near the shipyards looks sleepy and relatively plain. But the impos- ing American Industrial Center buildings—for- merly a can factory—house nearly 300 small businesses, from Olivier, a fine French butcher, to Dodocase, makers of chic containers for various electronic devices, as well as the Museum of Craft and Design, which recently reopened in Dogpatch three years after losing its lease downtown. “The creative energy around here was palpable,” says the museum’s executive director, JoAnn Edwards. “Behind each roll-up door there was something wonderful happening.” Closer to the heart of the city, the struggling Western Addition neighborhood is the unlikely home of San Francisco’s most talked-about culi- nary experience. The husband-and-wife chef team of Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski have won plaudits—including last year’s James Beard Award for best new restaurant—for their State Bird Provisions and its surprising dishes and dim sum–style service.

More familiar neighborhoods are undergoing face-lifts, thanks in part to forward-thinking architectural projects. The SoMa, or South of Market Street, area will soon be transformed by the newly expanded San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which has hired of-the-moment Nor- wegian firm Snøhetta to triple the gallery space of Mario Botta’s original design. The result, set to open in 2016, will resemble a dazzling, 10-story white iceberg in the heart of the city. But it’s the less sky-high ventures that truly capture the city’s creative mojo.

HEADING FOR SHORE A young family enlists Timothy Haynes and Kevin Roberts to craft a stylish new take on the traditional beach house, one that reflects both a refined sensibility and barefoot ease TEXT BY NANCY HASS PHOTOGR APHY BY SIMON UPTON PRODUCED BY CYNTHIA FR ANK

A sitting area features a Perriand daybed, 1950s chairs by Pierre Jeanneret, a petrifed-wood–and- bronze cocktail table, and a 1960s Sputnik chande- lier by Stilnovo; the steel, oak, and glass staircase is custom made, and Haynes-Roberts designed the rug.

WHEN ARCHITECT Timothy Haynes and his partner, designer Kevin Roberts, were asked to create a home in the Hamptons for a Wall Streeter and his young family, they understood that the job would loom large for them, not just while they were in the midst of it, but forever. The two designers are known for high-end resi- dences throughout the world, but this project, a vast enclave set on the ocean, was, by definition, unique. “We knew that it was likely to be the last opportunity of its kind,” Haynes recalls. “There simply aren’t going to be any more new estates built on the beach in Southampton. There just isn’t any more room.” The designers understood that the property would be a focal point of the area’s landscape—and the clients’ family—for genera- tions to come. “We felt like we had a special responsibility to get it right,” says Roberts. Luckily for the pair, the heft of the task was leavened by the cli- ents’ exuberance and creative intelligence. The couple, who have five children between the ages of three and 15, wanted a home that would be both rugged and refined. Most of all, they wanted to enjoy the process, not just check in from time to time. “They were total partners in this, enjoying every moment and decision,” says Roberts. “They knew what the best clients know—that you should make the process part of the house itself.” As processes go, this was not a simple one. The couple had to gather up enough parcels of beachfront to give themselves the pri- vacy and sheer square footage they longed for. And Haynes had to make certain that the grand dimensions of the main house would

still have human proportions. “Tim’s genius is that he knows how to take a regular house and blow it up bigger,” says the wife, who also worked with the pair on a Park Avenue apartment. “He made sure we understood how big the windows had to be, that we didn’t want it to look like a conference hotel. Scale is a kind of magic.” The homeowners were sure of one thing going in: The house would have to have a split personality. They wanted it to be formal on the street side and entirely beachy at the back. “The idea was to seem like Fire Island out the back doors,” says the wife, referring to the legendary barefoot, car-free beach community some 50 miles away. She wanted the kids to be able to run wild in an environment decked with textured surfaces and sturdy structures. “I wanted it to be a little camp-like, as though they had been in a bunk for the summer.” But she and her husband, who are collectors of contemporary art and love to entertain, wanted to have a grown-up house too. They had lived for a time in Europe, and they sought to inject some Conti- nental flair, details like the black-trimmed windows so prevalent in Amsterdam. They appreciated how the Europeans had less fear of combining the historic with the modern. Thus, from the street, the house has a minimalist, linear feel, with boxwoods and a white Sol LeWitt sculpture. “It’s a bit manicured,” she says, “which I think is how it should be, because you’re coming from town.” The home grows increasingly, if subtly, more casual as it moves toward the ocean, with lots of brushed oak and exotic woods. The property includes a guesthouse and poolhouse, as well as two pools lined in marble-dust–covered gunite. 182 ELLEDECOR.COM

Each room of the main house has a distinct ambiance—a challenge in a structure of lofty spaces that tend to flow into one another—with various amounts of light and shade carefully calibrated throughout. The living room, with 11-foot-high windows overlooking the dunes, is airy, in pale blues and beiges; the library, with its ebonized-oak paneling, seems ready for an autumn night warmed by the fire. The dining room can easily seat 30 at the custom Corian dining table beneath an enormous black Jean Royère chandelier. Unlike some large homes where the magnificence of the space takes precedence over the furnishings, this one pays great attention to some of the masters of mid-20th-century French design, including Charlotte Perriand, Jean Prouvé, and Royère. Set off by large-scale artworks by Damien Hirst and Donald Moffett, the pieces create a spare but warm geometry. The clients accompanied the designers to France to shop and had a riotous good time. “It was one of the great- est treats ever,” she recalls. As she looks from her gleaming white kitchen to the family room beyond, and out onto the Atlantic Ocean, she remembers the time spent huddling with Roberts and Haynes, discovering unexpected treasures, debating design, each of them pushing the others toward a unified vision of a project they knew would be truly significant. “How often do you get to do something like this?” she asks. “It gives pleasure every day, and I hope it will forever.” ◾ 186 ELLEDECOR.COM

couldn’t decide. I can’t think that way for myself.” Prior to that, Alidad, a notorious stickler about each and every element, had spent more than a quar- ter-century painstakingly decorating his Victorian apartment. When he moved in three decades ago, he worked at Sotheby’s, in the department devoted to Islamic art, carpets, and textiles. “At most auction houses you hand the objects to porters to place in cases before a sale,” he says. “Not me. I would lock the room for three days and turn everything into an amazing display. That’s when I realized I was more interested in design than in objects.” Decorating his own apartment became his training ground as a designer, starting with his bold scheme for the library, where he covered the walls and ceiling in a dramatic red-and-gold pattern inspired by traditional Islamic archi- tecture. He next envisioned a dining room with decor straight out of an 18th-century palazzo, and found artisans to craft a faux-coffered ceiling and stamped-leather wallcoverings hand painted with a Tree of Life pattern. The room was lit strictly with candles. “It looked magical at night with the sheen of the leather,” he says. With time, Alidad slowly furnished a dayroom, painting it a vibrant yellow, and at last created a handsome bedroom for himself. The bottle-green shade was so striking that, he says, “my friends made me promise never to change it.” But then catastrophe struck in the form of plumbing leaks
