New York House: The Faces of Sustainable Interior Design

Paul Gleicher, President of Gleicher Design Group

Paul Gleicher is an accredited LEED practitioner who focuses on providing alternatives to his clientele on how they can live a healthier lifestyle without compromising the look and design of their homes or building.

During the designing, Gleicher’s company shows its clients many options of materials, pushing to incorporate cabinetry with no formaldehyde, fabrics with no toxins, and counter tops with recycled glass.

Gleicher and his wife co-authored Dreaming Green, a coffee table book filled with photographs and a list of resources for making your home green.

Gleicher has redone his own house, using the green practice he preaches. He believes his home is an inspiration for clients to show its easy to renovate green without sacrificing aesthetics.

“In the future we will see an amazing interest in interior design, more so than the past decade,” Gleicher said. “The future outlook will be more focused on how clients can spend their money, wanting more bang for the buck. And focusing on their personal environment, using green technology to make their environment healthier without sacrificing the look.”

re-nest: Paul and Lisa’s Green Dream Home

Lisa Sharkey and Paul Gleicher — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:13:48 +0000

Paul and Lisa’s elegant Manhattan home is proof that going green doesn’t have to come at the expense of style. (It also proves that if you’re going to gut renovate a dilapidated 1885 Manhattan townhouse in a single year, it comes in handy when the owner is also the architect.)

Lisa Sharkey on the Huffington Post

Check out my article in the Huffington Post on why I live in a green house. When you’re done, take a tour on Huffington Post’s Green page…
Like millions of Americans, I want a safe environment for my family. Fast food gives me the creeps, toys made with chemicals scare me, as do ones that light up, make noises and contain screens for young children to stare at.

Before I became a mom, I never thought about any of this. But all that changed when I decided it was time to have children. Problem was, I couldn’t seem to carry a pregnancy to term. Three times in a row, I learned I was pregnant, only to suffer the pain of miscarriage.

As a journalist, my investigative skills took over as I tried to figure out what it was about me, or my environment that was causing the repeated pregnancy loss. I became much more sensitive to what was going on around me and what I was putting into my body.
When I finally did become a mom, those same concerns translated into the way I cared for my new baby, and eventually for all three of them. Read more…
