This absolutely stunning 1861 Italianate brownstone in the historic Fort Greene neighbourhood of Brooklyn was renovated and modernized by Bangia Agostinho and Adrienne Totoro. The home’s history was honoured in this transformation whilst adapting it for modern living for a young family. New layouts, a rebuild of the rear extension, large-scale windows created a lighter, more spacious flow. Muted woods, natural materials and neutrals make this home soooo calming and grounded.
