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.)
“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.”
“My house is really just a laboratory that I happen to live in.” – Michael McDonough
“I thought it was really incredible how invested they were in the environment. It felt like a gift to do the house for them.” -Project Architect Mary Ann Thompson
“Early in the process, we decided that almost every aspect of the renovation was going to be green – from the gut job to the design. We wanted a healthy house made of chemical-free, natural materials that didn’t pillage the earth.” -Lisa Sharkey
