The Degraw Street Office is a full renovation of a small mixed-use building in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill Historic District. Originally constructed in the early twentieth century as a barbershop, the storefront has housed a variety of small neighborhood businesses over time. We reimagined the space as a calm, light-filled workspace while preserving the modest scale and character of the surrounding rowhouse block.

The existing dark-painted façade was retained in its entirety. Inside, large front windows draw daylight deep into the interior, and original exposed wood ceiling beams were left visible. Wood furnishings, leather, and layered textiles lend a residential sensibility to the working environment.
