ABOUT DESIGN HOME
2016 marks the 14th year of Philadelphia magazine’s Design Home. Over the years, each Design Home has exhibited the latest trends in the market. Our readers and visitors have been repeatedly awed by these remarkable, state-of-the-art houses. Thus, in keeping up with tradition, Philadelphia magazine’s Design Home 2016 will certainly not disappoint.
Design Home 2016 is a symbiosis of old and new. For the first time in 13 years, Design Home returns to the City of Brotherly Love. Located in an uber-luxurious townhouse development in Philadelphia’s historic Society Hill, Adagio is a modern interpretation of the classic townhouse and the epitome of contemporary living in a world class city with arts, culture, and five-star restaurants at its doorstep.
The process of building and design of the home will be chronicled through several special advertising sections in Philadelphia magazine and through this website. Design Home 2016, Adagio, will open its doors to the public for 3 weeks of house tours (October 15 – November 6, 2016) – with all ticket proceeds benefiting MANNA.
The Beneficiary
MANNA
MANNA is the only organization of its kind in the Philadelphia area that prepares and delivers nourishing, medically appropriate meals to neighbors battling life-threatening illnesses such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, diabetes, and kidney disease. MANNA provides hope and nourishment through its delivery of 3 meals a day, 7 days a week to thousands in the Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey area, all free of charge.
MANNA’s mission is made possible because of the 4,800 volunteers who give of their time each year. These caring neighbors are the true heart of MANNA. Each day they chop, cook, and deliver meals – enabling MANNA’s service to remain free to its clients. A recently completed study by the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning demonstrated the health benefits of MANNA’s medically tailored meals, something MANNA refers to as the power of Food as Medicine. MANNA provides healing support for both the body and soul as shown by its clients routinely reporting increased energy, improved weight, better tolerance of medication, and less stress over preparing meals.
MANNA’s delivery of delicious, medically appropriate meals, along with nutritional counseling, empower individuals to battle illness and improve their quality of life.
