He exhibits a great sense of style and unerring taste in his selection of products and materials. The result is an endless array of timeless interiors that showcases his mastery of design. -- Dennis Miller/Dennis Miller Associates. **Comment from Glenn Gissler Design:** > Thank you very much to the team at Dennis Miller! **★★★★★ — Wendy Silverstein, Nov. 2019** > Not only is Glenn Gissler a great talent, he is also a pleasure to work with. He cares about his clients and colleagues and is passionate about creating interiors that are inspired and livable. His understanding and appreciation of art and culture is reflected throughout his work as is his keen attention to detail. Whether the project is in the city, county or by the water, Glenn Gissler Design always delights. **★★★★★ — Barry Goralnick, Nov. 2019** > "As an architect, I appreciate the distinctive point of view Glenn brings to the environments he creates. Whether it’s a classic farmhouse in the county, a brownstone, or a city apartment, his spaces are livable and extraordinary. The passion and expertise he brings, including an in-depth knowledge of art, helps Glenn create unique, memorable homes which are tailored to his clients lives." **★★★★★ — Bilotta Kitchen & Home, Nov. 2019** > I have been working with Glenn Gissler for over 20 years and together we’ve designed countless kitchens. One of the things I love most about working with Glenn is how attentive he is to every little detail knowing that even the smallest aspect of the design will make all the difference in the overall space. No detail is overlooked. Glens’s designs exude an understated elegance and sophistication. One of his signatures is incorporating beautiful and thought-provoking artwork and artifacts into his spaces. He’s also very organized and meticulous in his processes. He believes that a space has to be as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional, that the overall architecture and the interiors must work harmoniously together. Glenn has such positive energy – he’s so attentive to his clients throughout the entire process, making what could sometimes be daunting, actually enjoyable! He’s among the top in the industry and I’d highly recommend him to any of my clients. I look forward to another 20 years together! **★★★★★ — Susan Haus, Nov. 2019** > An amazing experience with Glenn Gissler Design! From start to finish- Craig and Glenn understood our style and price range and got everything done as quickly as possible! Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Tracie Andrews, Nov. 2019** > Working with Glenn Gissler Design on two projects has been a pleasure. From the outset, they made it clear that they wanted to learn what our vision was and about our lifestyle. Ultimately, Glenn and Craig proposed intelligent design solutions and sought to streamline the installations for minimal impact upon our normal daily living. They exceeded our expectations. The characteristic that impresses me most about the GGD aesthetic is how the combination of considered architectural lines and a harmonious, yet understated, color-palette produces an overall feeling that everything belongs precisely where it is situated. Glenn Gissler Design came highly recommended to us - and while staying on budget, they delivered a comfortable, yet elegant design synergy that pleases the eye. **★★★★★ — Ariel Kochi, Nov. 2019** > Right after my husband and I purchased a new loft-style apartment that had limited natural light, Glenn and his team took over construction from the developer reconfiguring many spaces to improve the spatial flow which brought grace and ease to a potentially awkward layout. They were always present making sure the job stayed on schedule and to intervene when there were complications. Glenn found creative ways to add LOTS of additional storage following one of his lifestyle mantras ‘ storage is a key to mental health’, he also integrated architectural lighting, lamps and a strategic use of mirrors to make the space feel bright and cheery. > Glenn designed a distinctive and comfortable family-friendly apartment that works well when we are all together but also provides autonomy for everyone, this has served us well as our children have grown up. > Lastly, Glenn introduced us to fine art and worked with us over a number of years to put together a personal collection of modern and contemporary art – and to our surprise it was deemed worthy of being included in VIP tours for the Armory Art Fair in New York City. **★★★★★ — Bonnie Steves, Oct. 2019** > Having had the occasion to work closely with Glenn Gissler and Glenn Gissler Design on a number of projects over the past several years - while Glenn also served as President-elect and then President of ASID NY Metro - has provided me the opportunity to experience his expertise, his passion and his deep knowledge of art and design first hand. Every project is built on a thorough discovery of the space, the client, and what is paramount to creating an overall successful design collaboration. What is refreshing, and not surprising, is that Glenn and his team are steadfast and methodical in designing environments that honor a building, residence or the architectural integrity while also pushing the envelope of modernism. **★★★★★ — Gregg Lempp, Oct. 2019** > My company, Martin Patrick Evan, has been working with Glenn Gissler Design for over 20 years and we have completed well over 100 projects together. Glenn is decisive in his vision and a pleasure to work with, so it’s no surprise that many clients come to him over and over again. Every residence and summer home he designs is elegant yet versatile. We value his business very much and look forward to continuing our work together in the future. **★★★★★ — Roger Hyde, Oct. 2019** > Thanks to his architectural background, Glenn Gissler is a master at transformative spaces. His unique eye for materials, shape and color manifested in a seductive, sumptuous and luxurious space that has become our new home in Manhattan. Working with Glenn and his extended team of highly talented, professional and caring artisans and contractors yielded a formidable result we are extremely proud of. **★★★★★ — CJ Dellatore LLC, Oct. 2019** > I've known Glenn Gissler and his team for several years now, and have worked closely with Glenn on his contribution to my book, Interior Design Master Class, and with Craig on my book On Style: Inspiration and Advise from the New Generation of Interior Design. What stands out for me from our work together? Glenn and his senior designer Craig Strulovitz are consummate design professionals. They have an encyclopedic understanding of historical reference in design; they take a rigorously intellectual approach to design; and they have remain curious about what constitutes successful design in an ever changing world. Taken together, those ideas manifest in rooms that are both stylish and modern. **★★★★★ — Christine Sachs, Oct. 2019** > We purchased an unremarkable Colonial house on a great site overlooking the Long Island Sound that needed a complete renovation, and found Glenn Gissler Design after researching interior design experts on the internet. We loved his design sensibility and seamless eclectic mix of furnishings, as well as his professional but affable personality. Working with him did not disappoint. > > He spent a great deal of time finding out not just about our taste but how we lived in a space. The result was a comfortable custom dwelling that took advantage of our water views and reflected our lifestyle. > > Glenn has extensive architectural as well as interior design experience which enabled him to tackle the project from the macro elements such as the reorganization of rooms, floor plans, lighting, window layouts and furnishings down to the micro details of moldings, porch columns, backsplash color, etc. We could not be happier with the process and the results. ## Selected projects - [West End Avenue Apartment – NYC](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-end-avenue-apartment-nyc-pj-vj~1175421) - Location: New York, NY - Photos: 8 - Description: Works of fine art by Picasso, Cy Twombly, Brice Marden, Al Held, and Terry Winters hang amid furniture of comparable aesthetic stature in this classic ten-room apartment on West End Avenue on Manhattan’s Upper West Side.
