Interior Design Tours of Ronald McDonald House at Stanford
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Ronald Mc Donald House
(see times)
It will be love at first sight for visitors who get to tour the new Ronald McDonald House at Stanford before it officially opens to accommodate families of critically ill children.
Bay Area design aficionados, families and community supporters of Ronald McDonald House at Stanford can enjoy pre-opening tours of the newly-constructed House. As a result of “Where Hope Has a Home,” a year-long philanthropic partnership with the San Francisco Design Center, 48 of the Bay Area’s top design firms have been hard at work to ensure the new House provides the perfect environment to support families in crisis. Their collective efforts are transforming the new structure into an oasis of hope and love, from the paint and flooring, to the fixtures and furniture, including everything in between.
Led by volunteer co-chairs Elizabeth Martin, principal of the Martin Group, Inc., and Geoffrey De Sousa, principal of Geoffrey De Sousa Design and co-creative director of De Sousa Hughes, the project is providing more than $2 million in pro-bono interior design services and materials for the expansion.
Tours will include complete walk-throughs of the 52,000-square-foot space, including 67 new family suites and multiple common areas.
Design tour guests are encouraged to participate in special events scheduled during their visit at no extra cost. These special events take place throughout the two week tour period and include celebrity appearances by Genevieve Goings, children’s entertainer and host of Disney Junior’s Choo-Choo Soul with Genevieve!, Mommy and Me Hip Hop classes, breakfasts with the designers, children’s arts and crafts projects, food trucks, visit with farm animals from Jasper Ridge Farms and happy hour social gatherings on scheduled evenings.
After the expansion is complete, the House at Stanford will be one of the largest of the 353 Ronald McDonald Houses in the world, providing shelter, support, and community to families of critically ill children being treated at nearby hospitals. Currently, the existing 47-room House must turn away approximately 40 – 50 families each night due to high demand and limited capacity.
