Louis Tramunti’s Wife Thought He Was Having a Heart Attack. So Why Did the Police Break His Back?

When Louis Tramunti’s wife called 911, she wanted EMTs to save her husband’s life after a heart attack. Instead, two policemen threw him to the floor and broke his back. It was just one of those things; didn’t even make the papers. Louis, an old friend of an old friend of mine, called me nearly a year later because “people need to know about this, bro,” which didn’t thrill his attorney. “I’m not typically a PR lawyer,” said Steven Falkoff when I called. “It’s a basic fact pattern and excessive-force case. I don’t know how much sexiness there is for a broader story.” To Louis—a good-natured if foul-mouthed 37-year-old Bernie-supporting son of Whitestone, a corner of Queens untouched by gentrification or even integration—it’s the only story. He’s been married for seven years to Szilvia, a lovely Hungarian immigrant whose calmness evens out his off-the-walls hyperactivity, and he’s worked for more than 15 years as a plumbing surveyor, making good union wages mapping out where the sleev...

A Serene Penthouse in one of Santa Barbara’s Tallest Buildings

Location: Santa Barbara , California Price: $5.25 million This penthouse is perched atop the historic 1923 Granada Theatre building , one of the tallest in Santa Barbara , a city on the California coast. Overlooking downtown, the Pacific Ocean, the harbor, the Channel Islands, and the surrounding Santa Ynez Mountains , this apartment offers “amazing, panoramic views,” said Cristal Clarke, the listing agent with Sotheby’s International Realty Montecito .   A combination of urban living, unparalleled views, and the size of the property (over 3,000 square feet) makes this a one-of-a-kind home. While the rest of the building is zoned for commercial use, the top two floors are occupied by two penthouse apartments. “There is just nothing like this in Santa Barbara .  Most condominiums downtown are much smaller in square footage,” Ms. Clarke said. “The current owner bought the property as a shell,” Ms. Clarke said, and as she completed the apartment, “she did everything with impeccable tas...

Architect Lee F. Mindel Renovates a Manhattan Apartment

This article originally appeared in the February 2007 issue of Architectural Digest. The highly articulate Lee F. Mindel has this to say about the way he and Peter L. Shelton, his longtime collaborator, approach the challenge of an apartment renovation: "The main thing is to identify the problem of a space and to reduce it to its purest essence. People get distracted when they buy an apartment. They go from falling in love to having buyer's remorse so quickly that they can't calm down and ask the most primal questions. What makes a place tick? What about its context is special? Is there some quality of the building that should be celebrated? How does the light work? What is it about the owner that brings specificity to his home? And, finally, what can we, as architects and designers, do to present the clients as the best they can be, given who they are?" He pauses. "We ask and try to answer all these questions, then we throw them out the window and let intuitio...
