Ted Levy, 1931 – 1986

“He was a man with wide interests and he found different ways to explore those interests”

Renata Levy, Ted Levy's wife of almost 55 years.

Ted Levy was born in New York in 1931 but spent many of his formative years in Atlanta. He served for five years piloting anti-submarine aircraft over the North Atlantic and later became a rear admiral in the Naval reserve,  before retiring from the Navy in 1987.

As a full time architect, Levy designed numerous commercial and residential structures in Atlanta including Plaza Towers, one of the city’s first residential high-rises, opening in 1969, and Park Place which opened later in the 1980s.

Ted Levy Benjamin & Partners, the practice led by Levy alongside Issy Benjamin and Ike Horvitch, designed several developments and one-off houses in north London throughout the 1970s and early 1980s, most notably The Cenacle in Hampstead and West Hill Park, a private gated estate of 45 properties in Highgate, Hampstead.

Ted Levy died in 1986 at the age of 82.
