Stony Brook Project Design

Ronald McDonald House Long Island, Kravet LLC, New York Cottages & Gardens, and Hampton Cottages & Gardens Magazines are pleased to announce Stony Brook Project Design.

Your participation will not only help create beautiful and functional spaces but will also provide a sense of hope and support to families who rely on the Ronald McDonald House to stay close to their sick children.

Twelve years ago, the interior design community renovated and restored the Ronald McDonald House in New Hyde Park. As we build a new House next to Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, we are inviting designers to lend their time and talents once again.

Features of the new House will include:

30 private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms
Media center to work remotely or connect with loved ones
Outdoor playground for children to enjoy
Playrooms with toys and games for all ages
Transportation services for easy access to appointments
Kitchens and home-cooked meals every night
Fully stocked 24/7 laundry facilities
Fitness Center, Meditation Room, Wellness Center and so much more!

The new 60,000 sq. ft. Ronald McDonald House in Stony Brook will offer overnight accommodations, comfort, love and hospitality to families caring for their seriously ill or injured children at the hospital. The House is planned to open in 2027—but we need your help.
