""There was a moment when we thought about keeping the peach pedestal sink and sage green tub in the kids' bath," Tang recalled. "We didn't end up going that way, but we tried to allude to the original palette with teal, aubergine, and hits of purple.""
""We kept existing baseboards, crown moldings, and picture rail in some places, and added curved openings trimmed with white oak between some of the rooms," said Tang. "These prewar layouts are great for growing families. The proportions of spaces are generous, and we carved out spaces within them for specific uses. We focused on how they actually use the space: How they eat meals, whether they needed a formal dining table, how the kids like to play.""
A 1,500-square-foot, two-bedroom, 2.5-bath apartment in a 1929 Emery Roth building was renovated from estate condition for a couple with two young daughters. Gowanus-based Frederick Tang Architecture reconfigured the layout to add built-ins, storage, and white oak details while retaining existing baseboards, crown moldings, picture rail, and salvageable white oak flooring. The renovation introduced curved openings trimmed with white oak, reorganized closets including a large entry closet and an alcove bench, and updated the kitchen and bathrooms. Most furnishings were procured new with a few vintage pieces. The palette alludes to original Art Deco pastels with teal, aubergine, and purple accents.
