Arresting Development

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
Soho's famous Police Building penthouse has at one time or another been home to both Calvin Klein and Steffi Graf. Now it's the residence of Altamarea restauraunt group CEO Ahmass Fakahany. He and his wife hired designer Michael Bagley to redo the space, and in the first anniversary issue of the glossy New York Cottages and Gardens we have the spectacular results. Included in the tasteful decoration are our blue Scandinavian ceramics from Kahler, and a show stopping Empoli Italian glass stopper bottle.
