This September, the Brooklyn Heights Association will present the 2022 Brooklyn Heights Designer Showhouse in a townhouse just steps from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade. The showhouse, located at 145 Columbia Heights, will present modern, luxurious design set off by old-world, urban architecture. Over a dozen interior designers from Brooklyn and New York City will transform each room in this historic townhouse, which was owned by the same family for over six decades, from the 1840s until the early 1900s.
The 26-foot-wide townhouse features a grand triple parlor with soaring 13-foot ceilings and preserved period details, a spacious full-floor primary bedroom suite, and five beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces. During a recent renovation, an unexpected fifth floor was added, with floating stairs to a roof deck that thrills with city and water views. The co-chairs of the showhouse are Ellen Hamilton and Erika Belsey Worth and aspire design and home is this year’s design media sponsor. This year’s participating designers include Antonino Buzzetta Design, Baxt Ingui Architects, Chused & Co, Circa 22 Design Studio, Collyer’s Mansion, JDK Interiors, JS Interiors, KD Reid, Laurie Blumenfeld Design, Meagan Camp Interiors, Nigel Rollings Landscape, Rupp Studio, Studio Dorion, Tara McCauley and the Brooklyn Heights Gardens, Inc.
Both Hamilton and Worth are excited for this showhouse to open. “This year’s showhouse is particularly thrilling because there’s nothing virtual about it! When the doors open, our visitors will be able to run their fingertips over the finishes on the walls and the extraordinary textures of our designers’ fabric selections. They will sit on the sofas and absorb the rooms with reawakened awareness of what it means to be in an exquisitely designed space. We can’t wait to experience the 2022 showhouse designers’ magic!”
Proceeds from the showhouse will support the Brooklyn Heights Association, which was founded in 1910 and whose advocacy is critical to preserving Brooklyn Heights’ remarkable architecture. The association was instrumental in the creation of New York City’s first historic district, the construction of the iconic Brooklyn Heights Promenade, and the preservation of the nearby waterfront for what is now Brooklyn Bridge Park.
