Nation’s Leading Designers and Architects Transform Newly Built Lenox Hill Mansion to Benefit Premier Non-Profit Organization in its 100th Year

Twenty-one of the nation’s most celebrated interior designers and architects traveled from across the country to participate in this year’s 44th Annual Kips Bay Decorator Show House, hosted by New York’s premiere local youth organization, the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Each designer has spent the eight weeks transforming a distinct space in The Carlton House Townhouse at 19 East 61st Street in New York City’s iconic Lenox Hill neighborhood. The show house opens to the public from May 12 to June 9, 2016, and tickets are now available online.

Hand-selected by the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Committee and led by its chair, renowned interior designer Bunny Williams, this year’s talented group of 21 designers and architects were tasked with bringing the interiors of The Carlton House Townhouse, an impressive 10,000-square-foot raw space, to life. The townhouse, which also has 5,000 square feet of outdoor space, sits adjacent to The Carlton House, a 68-unit residential luxury building.

“This year’s team of participating designers and architects is an extraordinary mix of veterans and newcomers and who not only are doing amazing things for the interior design community, but are also dedicated to supporting our cause,” said Bunny Williams. “We are looking forward to seeing this group’s tremendous talent come to life this year, and are confident that with their help, we will continue breaking records and surpassing our fundraising goals, which are crucial in enhancing after-school and enrichment programs for our city’s youth.” 

An estimated 15,000 people are expected to tour the Show House which serves as the non-profit organization’s premier annual fundraiser. The House will be open to the public seven days a week, May 12th through June 9th.
