The Washington, DC Design House, a 501(c)3 nonprofit entity, began in 2008 as a unique design show house event in which top area designers showcased their talents into a “flowing design home” to raise funds for a local charity.

The DC Design House quickly earned a following with more than 55,000 visitors and more than $1 million raised for Children’s National Health System over the last six years.

The 2014 DC Design House is a six-bedroom, five-full and two-half bath estate at 4600 Linnean Avenue, NW, in DC's Forest Hills neighborhood. Built in 1929, the home features a three-car garage and pool situated on a two-third-acre homesite. The stone house offers three levels and approximately 7,929 square feet of living space for 24 designers to transform. The home includes original elements such as crown molding and wood flooring, as well as custom cabinetry in the living room and formal library. It has been in the Marshall B. Coyne family for more than six decades and is currently owned by his granddaughter, Suzi Wilczynski, president of Dig It! Games, which develops educational games for children. Coyne, founder of The Madison Hotel, was an avid collector of art, French furniture and historic documents, among other objects.
