The highly acclaimed Hampton Designer Showhouse returns to Southampton this August.

Funds raised each year help support a plethora of programs that the hospital provides to the South Fork of Long Island. Honorary Design Chairs include renowned designers, Jamie Drake and Alexa Hampton while featuring the work of top interior designers from around the country. 

about the home- This year's home is generously provided by Victoria Meakin and David Feldman of New York City. Designers will transform the historic home which dates to 1830. With a long history in the East End, The house was originally part of the Mayo Family Farm and it is surrounded by a nature preserve and part of the Peconic Land Trust, which protects Long Island’s working farms and natural lands. The renovation will feature updates to the 7,500 square foot home, as well as the expansive
surrounding property boasting stunning vistas over protected marshland.
