Showtime® House 2010 Marries High Design With Cutting-Edge Technology

Third Evolution Of The Famed Showhome Adds A Hi-Tech Twist In Luxury Penthouses

NEW YORK, Aug. 30 -- For the third straight year, Showtime Networks is working with some of the world's top designers, who will draw inspiration from the network's series and redesign high-end residential space to create the Showtime House. Located in Midtown Manhattan's Cassa Hotel and Residences, this year's showhome will marry high design with new technologies in the top three penthouses of the 48 story building. The Showtime House will debut September 7 and will be open through the end of October for private events and public tours.

The Showtime House will be transformed by a stellar group of top designers who will create incredible rooms inspired by the Showtime original series Dexter, Nurse Jackie, Weeds, United States of Tara, The Big C, The Borgias and Californication. The showhome at Cassa Hotel and Residences, 70 West 45th Street, will be open to the public on Saturdays from Sept. 11 through Oct. 23. Tickets for admission will sell for $15 each, with all proceeds from the ticket sales benefiting the non-profit Harlem Children's Zone®. For full details on the Showtime House, its designers and sponsors, videos and more, go to http://www.showtimehouse.com.

"The SHOWTIME HOUSE, like the ones that preceded it, is the personification of the Showtime brand," said Len Fogge, Executive Vice President, Creative, Marketing, Research and Digital Media, Showtime Networks Inc. "Armed this year with an entirely new group of cutting-edge designers and in a contemporary midtown location, we infused the latest in cutting-edge technology into the house to demonstrate how both entertainment and design are evolving into new forms. These added elements of digital interactivity will add a new dimension to the visitors' experience, providing a deeper connection with our Showtime series."

This year's line-up of incredible design talent includes Jeff Andrews of Jeff Andrews-Design, Space 4 Architecture, Robert Bristow and Pilar Proffitt of POESIS, Keith Baltimore of the Baltimore Design Group, Marc Thorpe of Third Eye Studios and David Schwarz of HUSH Studios, John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon of John Loecke, Inc., Gregory Okshteyn of Studios GO, Katie Lydon Interiors,  Brooks Atwood of POD Design + Media with Perlin Studios, Stephen Chung/architect and Matthias Altwicker/AB Architekten, Laura Bohn Design Associates, Eric Chan, Bradley Price and Jeff Miller of ECCO Design, BG Studio International Inc. and Bruce Mau Design. Each designer has been tasked to design a room inspired by one of the Showtime series. Their work will be filmed as part of a special half-hour show produced by and aired on SHOWTIME.

The Showtime House takes an original and unexpected showhome design and adds a new element - each designer has been challenged to showcase how high design and technology can be integrated into everyday spaces:

  --  John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon are collaborating with HP to create
      out-of-the-box technology-meets-design bespoke elements including:
      Weeds-inspired wall designs created with revolutionary HP Wallskins
      technology, custom lampshades printed with HP Latex Technology, and
      innovative multimedia installations that employ an HP TouchSmart PC.

  --  Jeff Andrews (decorator to Dexter executive producer and star Michael
      C. Hall) integrates state-of-the-art LG Electronics technology into
      his Dexter "refuge" by using an HD video projector to create an
      atmospheric experience. The room also features an ultra-slim LED HDTV
      with wireless Blu-ray Disc playback and LG's innovative, "Art Cool"
      air conditioner to frame a stylized photo from the Dexter series.

  --  Using chromo-therapy techniques and interactive motion technology,
      Stephen Chung and Matthias Altwicker partnered with MIT graduates to
      reveal an oasis designed to rejuvenate and recharge The Big C's lead
      character Cathy.

  --  With Hush Studios, Marc Thorpe creates a conceptual commentary on the
      original gangsters using light, sound, and high-tech treats for The
      Borgias media room.

  --  Eric Chan and the ECCO Design team will use HP technology, including
      an HP Photosmart e-All-in-One printer and HP Pavilion PCs, to create
      an immersive photo booth experience that will put visitors in the
      shoes of their favorite Californication characters.

  --  Brooks Atwood and Daniel Perlin invite visitors to become 'Tara' by
      integrating video tracking technology to create a digital mirror wall
      that allows visitors to merge their identities with one of her
      alternate personalities from the United States of Tara.

The Showtime House media partners include Wired magazine, CNET, The New Yorker, and Lonny magazine. The partners will extend their support and expertise to the designers by providing print, online, and event exposure. Participating sponsors who are providing product to the showhome include Cassa Hotel and Residences, Brizo, Dyson, HP, IDS Audio/Video Technologies, Johnnie Walker, Karastan, Ketel One, LG, Lutron, Optoma, PANTONE Paints by Fine Paints of Europe, Sonos, Swarovski and Toshiba.

The showhome will also host a number of private events including The New Yorker-hosted 20 Under 40, Cartoons and Cocktails, and Playlist events, and the Hope Lodge charity event among others. For more information on private events, please contact Blaise Preau at blaise.preau@showtime.net. Chrysanthemum Partners will produce and manage the showhome this year. Partners Christie Boyle and Samantha Nestor have produced many showhomes across the country as well as the last two Showtime House projects.
