Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse Announces Full Roster of Designers for Fall 2026

Seventeen Designers Will Transform One Monroe Place,
A Landmarked 1852 Mansion in Brooklyn Heights, New York City’s First Historic District

BROOKLYN, NY — The Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA), New York City’s oldest civic association, today announced the full lineup of interior designers, architects, and landscape and furniture designers participating in the 2026 Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse, the borough’s most prestigious design event and a biennial fundraiser supporting the BHA’s work preserving the neighborhood’s architectural legacy since 1910. This year’s Showhouse will take place at One Monroe Place, a landmarked 1852 corner mansion in the heart of Brooklyn Heights.

ONE MONROE PLACE: A LANDMARK WITH A STORY
Located in the center of New York City’s first historic district, the grand 25-foot-wide residence is a stunning example of nineteenth-century architecture with a rich story. Originally built in the Greek Revival style for New York merchant Samuel Bell, the home was later enhanced in the 1860s with its distinctive fourth-story Mansard roof. By the 1890s, it was home to the Weirs, an iconic Brooklyn Heights family whose floral business was a neighborhood fixture for decades and continues to this day.

Following a multi-year gut renovation that used archival imagery to inform the restoration, the 9,525-square-foot home now boasts nine bedrooms, seven baths, and a rooftop terrace. Its exceptional natural light and historic character provide an inspiring setting for this year’s full-house transformation. This fall, the seventeen-member design roster will take on the Showhouse’s most ambitious assignment yet: re-envisioning this landmarked mansion.

THE DESIGNER COHORT: DYNAMIC TALENTS TO DISCOVER
The group brings together a dynamic mix of established names and rising talent, spanning a wide range of design styles and specialties — from classic and antique-layered interiors to modern,
architecturally architecturally driven spaces, with disciplines represented that include interior design, architecture, landscape design, and furniture making. Among the participants are Brian Cash Works, the New York- and Atlanta-based architecture and interior design studio founded by Yale-trained architect Brian Cash; Llewellyn Chupin, whose interior and furniture design practice bridges New York and Paris; Stollar Fearins Welch (SFW), the Manhattan architecture and interiors firm known for its “lived-in luxury” aesthetic; Hannah Hemmerly of HH Studio, whose narrative-driven interiors draw on a background in art history; and Max Aboody Interiors, the Dumbo, Brooklyn-based studio led by Parsons-trained designer Max Aboody. The full list of participating designers is below:

• Brian Cash Works (Bedroom), whose Yale-trained founder honed his eye at three AD100 and Elle Decor A-List firms before striking out to fuse architecture and interiors under one roof
• Emily Eng Interiors (Bedroom), whose interiors mine decorative-arts history — including her own family’s roots in Japan — for a personal, timeless elegance
• Field Form (Front & Side Garden), the Brooklyn landscape design-build studio whose stormwater and climate-adaptation expertise turns outdoor spaces into resilient infrastructure
• Hallie Goodman (Primary Bedroom & Walk-In Closet), the Hudson-based writer-designer whose storytelling sensibility has landed celeb clients and national attention
• Hannah Hemmerly Studio (Drawing Room & Powder Room), of HH Studio, whose art-historical training and belief that “restraint is better” produce layered interiors built around inherited heirlooms and hard-won antique finds
• Innerform (Powder Room & Primary Bath), whose precise, materials-driven approach translates clients’ personal histories into spaces with a timeworn, collected character
• Isy’s Interiors (Suite), led by founder Isy Runsewe, whose mix of color, texture, and unexpected antique finds creates warm, elevated spaces
• Llewellyn Chupin (Studio), whose New York- and Paris-based practice bridges interiors and collectible furniture design in pursuit of poetic stillness
• Max Aboody (Suite), whose couture-atelier training now shapes full-home interiors built around a household’s daily rhythms
• Paige Blodgett Interiors (Hallway & Laundry Room), whose layered, pattern-filled interiors, take her from Brooklyn brownstones to English countryside homes
• Rachael Rosenblum (Lobby) whose eye for reworking vintage upholstered pieces has blossomed into a full-scale interior design business
• Silverwing Interiors (Studio), led by Crystal Maki, named one of Architectural Digest’s New Jersey designers to know for her fearless, richly layered approach to color and texture
• SRF Interiors (Office & Closet), founded by Sarah Fleischer after years at AD100 firms, whose bright, pattern-driven interiors put a fresh spin on classic, tailored tradition
• Studio Olivine (Suite), led by art historian Hannah Blumenthal, whose object-driven eye makes original art a signature of every room
• Sugarhouse Design & Architecture (Kitchen & Dining Room), he husband-and-wife studio whose retail and hospitality work for brands like Ralph Lauren and Soho House now extends into private residences
• Stollar Fearins Welch (SFW) (Roof Terrace), whose “livable luxury” blends Brooklyn and Southern sensibilities
• Unionworks (Entry & Living Room), led by Poonam Khanna, whose quiet, soulful spaces are layered with handcrafted, natural-material details designed for enduring calm

“This house has stood in Brooklyn Heights since 1852 — first serving as a wealthy merchant’s household, later as the home of a celebrated florist and gardener, and finally the residence of more “everyday” Brooklynites as a 20th Century apartment house. The neighborhood has watched the restoration of One Monroe with great interest and curiosity, so it’s a thrill to be able to welcome people from Brooklyn Heights and beyond to witness this next iteration of such a historic property.
I can’t think of a better host for the Brooklyn Designer Showhouse and a place to support and celebrate the critical work of the Brooklyn Heights Association.” says Lara Birnback, Executive Director, Brooklyn Heights Association”

Event Producer Sarah Boyd states, “It’s been so exciting to get keen interest from best in class design brands supporting the 2026 designers, watching collaboration come together is so gratifying and will result in an amazing house.”

The 2026 Showhouse is presented with support from: Gold Sponsors including Farrow & Ball and Silverlining; Patrons including California Closets, Drummonds, Janus at Cie, Momeni, Remains Lighting Company, and Wovn Home; HunterDouglas, Schumacher, Citypoint, Hearth Cabinet, and Kantha; and Friends including Doyle Auctioneers & Appraisers, Kravet, Rug & Kilim, Studio Samuel, and The Hudson Company.
