{Old and New… a nice renovation, leaning more towards old I think, but still quite light and lovely.}The 1899 Italianate house came with a familiar set of Brooklyn brownstone challenges: a mere 14 feet wide, inside it was cave-like, wall-to-wall carpeted, and much worse for wear. It had also been divided into three apartments, and Drew Lang of Lang Architecture was charged with the enviable task of returning the four floors to a one-family residence for a couple and their kids crossing the river from Manhattan.“Our client came to us with a very clear vision,” Lang told us. “They wanted to restore the historic elements of the house, but they also wanted it to feel fresh and modern—to bring light in and make the room as open and spacious as possible.” Transformative move? Lang cut out giant holes in the masonry back of the house and inserted a two-story wall of steel-framed windows. Money well spent?
