Williamsburg Rowhouse

By opening-up the rear-facade, Agencie created a home that is both fit for modern living and respectful of the history of the row house.  The result: a spacious and light-filled home ready for the next 150 years. Mixed mid-century modern furniture with more contemporary pieces and added a sense of texture in elements such as ceilings and floors.
