Lisa Mende, Lisa Mende Design MEET THE DESIGNERS Patricia Gaylor Patricia Gaylor Interior Design Patriciagaylor.com Patricia Gaylor has practiced as an interior designer in the Northeast for more than two decades. Here, an abundance of older homes in need of complete renovations requiring the removal of everything from dated appliances to cabinetry prompted Pat to ponder: “What happens to all this stuff after it’s ripped out?” Gaylor’s passion for green design continues to be fueled by this question. Described as one of the early ‘mavericks’ of green design, Gaylor’s design savvy has been showcased throughout the country. Her collaboration with Sarah Susanka, famed architect and author of The Not So Big House, was one of many showhouses Gaylor has designed in recent years. Followed by Susanka’s Home By Design showhouse, and BASF’s Near Zero Energy Home, Gaylor continues her journey in creating sustainable, healthy and beautiful homes for the American family. “It’s not about size. It’s about quality, value, and moreover, a healthy lifestyle for today’s families,” Gaylor said. “By designing sustainable homes that save not only energy and water, but contribute to good indoor air quality and have lower impact on our natural resources, we are not only becoming a healthier nation, but a healthier planet.” Gaylor’s most recent show house, the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s “Cool Energy House” demonstrates how a remod- eled home can become a model of sustainability. This circa-1994 Colonial style that’s being redesigned and get- ting a 50 % reduction in energy output will also showcase the current trends in green design without compro- mise. “From wood flooring, ceramic tile, carpets, furniture, tile and paint, there’s no limit to what’s available in smart, sustainable style,” she said. Gaylor’s work has been featured in many publications, including Better Homes & Gardens, Traditional Home, and This Old House magazines. She is also a contributor to several blogs: Kitchen and Bath Business - http://kbbcollective.kbbonline.com/author/patriciagaylor and Green Home Builder Magazine: http://www.greenhomebuildermag.com/article/home-interior-design-trends-2015.
