11 Applause-Worthy Details We Saw in the 2026 Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse

The 2024 Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse is currently open at One Monroe Place, a historic 9,525-square-foot corner mansion. Originally built in 1852, the landmarked residence recently underwent an extensive multiyear renovation. Nineteen established and emerging designers have reimagined the six-story space, which includes nine bedrooms, a rooftop terrace, and a distinctive Mansard roof added after its initial Greek Revival construction.

Featured installations include a botanical wellness sanctuary with a moss-covered ceiling by ADROIT Architecture, a listening room inspired by 1970s walnut paneling by Max Aboody, and a guest bedroom by Brian Cash honoring the history of the nearby Hotel St. George. Other highlights include a tented ceiling guest room and Victorian-inspired blue drawing rooms that nod to neighborhood status symbols.

The event serves as a fundraiser for the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA), which has advocated for the neighborhood's architectural preservation since 1910. Public tours are available through November 1, with all proceeds supporting the BHA’s mission to preserve the community's legacy.
