An extension of healthy living is important to him. His interest in green architecture started in the 1970’s during the oil embargo, although he thought at the time that it was the beginning of a whole new way of thinking for everyone. “But as soon as the embargo was over, everyone forgot about solar energy,” he laments. Kaizer feels passionately that to make a house completely sustainable, you have to use a variety of methods. His goal is to have the house produce all of its energy in the next couple of years when he adds photovoltaic panels on the roof for electricity, and hopefully be able to use wind-generated power. Right now, a solar hot water heater on the roof provides all the hot water needs of the house.

Her husband, LEED-accredited architect PAUL GLEICHER, is the founder and president of Gleicher Design Group, a prestigious architectural and design firm in New York City.

While renovating their Manhattan brownstone, Lisa Sharkey and architect Paul Gleicher’s top priority was to create a home that was light on the earth and completely free of the harmful products that are often found in building and decorative supplies. A sophisticated couple who entertain frequently, Sharkey and Gleicher also demanded a home that was beautiful from the basement to the top floor’s sunroom. They sourced stylish and elegant materials, designed small and large spaces for flawless efficiency, and finished the project with responsible yet stunning finds.

Dreaming Green features the Sharkey-Gleicher brownstone as well as sixteen other environmentally responsible, impeccably designed residences that will stir readers to reimagine their homes as places that marry responsibility and beauty.

Lisa and Paul are available for speaking engagements on living and building green.

You can book them for your next event right here.
