I’ve just moved into my lovely new home in Carroll Gardens, a laid-back neighbourhood of Brooklyn. Anshu Bangia and Bill Agostinho, both architects, have renovated a townhouse on 186 Nelson Street to combine the simple elegance of the historic building with a modern interior. Check out their work on their website bangiaagostinho.com. If you are planning a visit to New York, you should consider staying in Anshu’s and Bill’s house. Check it out on VRBO.
