About the DC Design House: The Washington, DC Design House, a 501(c)3 nonprofit entity, began in 2008 as a unique design show house event for the DC Metro area in which top area designers showcased their talents into a “flowing design home” to raise funds for a local charity. What began as a single event goal to raise funds for Childrenʼs National Medical Center has developed into the regionʼs foremost annual residential design attraction and as a leading annual fundraiser event for Childrenʼs National Medical Center. Established by business partners and husband-and-wife co-founders Skip and Debbie Singleton, Principals of DC Living Real Estate, LLC, in partnership with an all volunteer team of sponsors, organizers, regional media, design industry manufacturers and some of the nationʼs most awarded and widely recognized designers. The DC Design House quickly earned a following with more than 20,000 visitors and more than $400,000 raised for Childrenʼs National Medical Center over the last three years. The tradition continues with the 2011 DC Design House.
