Gail Green

I have known Gail Green for many years now, having collaborated with her on several projects. She is a formidable professional, knowledgeable and responsable in her design, decorating and architectural capabilities. In addition, Gail is passionate about problem solving, creating successful results in her projects from start to finish. Best of all for me, Gail’s relationships with other professionals are based on team work. She gets along well with both clients and allied artisans, creating practical and artistic results. I recommend her without any hesitation for your next project!

We have worked with Gail on two projects now within the past ten years. The first project was a 2 bedroom apartment on the outskirts of Toronto for which she designed and decorated several rooms. Our current project involves a new house into which we moved within the past year. Here, Gail designed and worked with us on the entire house, including our kitchen and bath. Her work is both highly creative and effective, giving us a home that we love and can functionally use. While our budget was not big, she stayed within it, giving us the best value for our money.

Working with Gail in the re-design of our building’s lobby was a creative, rewarding and very successful experience. As a designer she demonstrates great skill and talent and she knows how to combine architectural, design and decorating elements in the most beautiful way. We started with a small, dark lobby and thanks to Gail we finished with a “Jewel”. Our new lobby is elegant, classic but simple, larger looking in size and has just the right amount of color. It welcomes everyone who walks through it. The finishes and workmanship are top quality and the style is high end. Throughout the project Gail demonstrated great creativity, responsiveness, knowledge, skill and attention to budget. We were very fortunate to have her guide us through this journey.

Working with Gail Green was a rewarding and eye opening experience. Not only was Gail engaged, responsive and effective throughout the project, but her approach and sense of style is unique and impressive. Simply put, the process was smooth and the results were sensational. Truly a gifted and experienced designer.

Gail Green has created a home that brings me joy and satisfaction no matter where I am or where I look. She and her architects developed the house from the beginning, working as a team to ensure continuity between its architecture and design, so as to harmoniously reflect my tastes and needs. Initially, she listened to my likes and dislikes and helped me define, and refine, the design style that appeals to me. Then she worked tirelessly to bring my home to life. She has a vast knowledge of what is readily available but she also researched several ideas. She found new materials and brought a modern twist to more traditional elements, maintaining their design integrity, and made certain the evolving ideas fit within my space, context and budget. The success of my home has come from Gail’s focused attention particularly in four areas: first, the compatibility of each design element with the architecture; second, the flow of elements within and between spaces to match my desires and needs for individual spaces and my goals for the house as a whole; third, the choice and placement of art, not as an investment which was not my purpose, but to add excitement, harmony and joy to each space; and fourth, attention to detail which she applied meticulously to micro and macro situations ensuring the successful implementation of the previous three concepts. Gail worked with me on this long-distance project (we were not in the same town) for two years. Her approach was always professional. She respected that this was my home and needed to take into account my likes, needs and budget. Looking back, I realize that, while I had my own opinions and ideas, I “did not know what I did not know” about design. Gail’s knowledge, experience and creativity often stopped me from making design mistakes or improved some of my ideas. I learned a great deal from this collaborative partnership. Now I have an exciting environment to live in that makes me smile several times a day.

I have worked with Gail Green for many years now. We originally had her work on our home in Toronto where she designed and decorated our home. Several years later, I moved to New York. Here, she renovated and decorated my apartment. I have always found Gail to have great insight and creativity into the issues and problems that had to be solved regarding circulation and placement. Her analysis of the space was spot-on. In addition, her knowledge of resources was vast, always able to pinpoint the appropriate style and budget conscious showrooms / workrooms in which to shop. Although my budget was limited, it was respected within my guidelines. Gail’s taste is impeccable – she puts the whole pie together, so that no one element looks out of place – it is a well-conceived whole. The Manhattan apartment was pulled together in a timely way, knowing that working long distance can be an arduous task. In addition, she is very thorough, responsible, and professional in following through with purchase orders and business details. Mostly, her attention to detail is exemplary, where the accents count and the whole pulls together. She is very easy to work with, listening to the concerns first and foremost. From supplying furniture to artwork, Gail created an apartment that turned out to be both beautiful and functional.

As an architect in New York, I have been collaborating with Gail Green for several decades. These projects on which we have worked vary in scope and scale, from studios to major houses, both in the tri-state area and Florida. Many of these projects are vessels for art collections, for which the selection of furniture and furnishings play an integral part. I found her resources to be vast and informed; she has a very tasteful eye. She designs spaces that are perfectly married to the architecture, making our work that much more livable, functional, and beautiful for our clients. We work as a team- client, architect, designer - creating a whole scheme, working in unison with our visions. Gail chooses finishes and materials that are consistent with the structure, blending them seamlessly to the architecture. What our clients like most about her work is the way she creates chic, classic and elegant interiors that are both comfortable and warm. Besides her unerring eye and editorial finesse is Gail’s appreciation of the architectural principles that guide any successful interior. Her sensitivity to the structural content makes her a wonderful collaborator – both for us, and other well known architects with whom she works and has worked. By carefully integrating comfort, practicality and beauty, I am pleased to be collaborating with Gail and look forward to working with her on many more inspiring projects.
