Glenn Gissler Design - New York, New York

Bilotta Kitchens

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. Glenn’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!

Glenn and I have worked together for (Oh my!) 40 years. Apartments, houses, offices...He can finish my sentences now.
Glenn was such a creative and pleasant partner in our recent conversion of an 1810 Greek Revival farmhouse. During this 9 month project, the interior was greatly altered. The attic was blasted to the roof to create additional bedrooms and an amazing staircase from 2nd to 3rd floors. A library was created in a former small sitting room. We transformed a "great room" into a dining room for entertaining our large family and new friends.
My favorite part of the house is a two story foyer that was converted from a tiny entrance hall. The unattractive farmhouse beams were hidden with paneling and everything painted with high gloss aubergine.
Glenn always surprises me with his vision and most importantly his ability to work with his team to make what we imagined....real.

We were introduced to Glenn Gissler Design through personal friends who had been using them for years. We had just purchased our first home— a beautiful, unique space in a landmarked building that needed an expert eye.

We were immediately taken with Glenn & Craig’s energy and excitement. They truly love what they do. Between highlighting dramatic original architecture, creating storage solutions, furnishing a home that was elegant and also warm and playful (we have 2 young children); every decision Glenn & Craig made was thoughtful and intentional. I especially love the education that comes from watching them work and listening to them speak about their work— like an art history class!

We are absolutely delighted every time we enter our new home. We look forward to working with Glenn & Craig for many more years to come and recommend them without reservation.

I have been in business as a New York City-based general contractor doing high-end residential work for 42 years, 20 years of which I have had the great fortune of working on projects with Glenn Gissler.

His clear-eyed understanding of the way design impacts life never ceases to amaze me. Watching Glenn with his clients inspires awe, the way he comes to understand what it is they are looking for, and what their goals are for the way they want to live in their new home.

Glenn crafts spaces specifically suited to his clients needs and tastes, while always sharing; he is master at his craft, as well as very dear friend. I might also add that Glenn's tutelage has made me a better contractor, always sharing the reasoning behind his design decisions--not just handing out a set of plans to accomplish as some designers might do. He is one of my favorite designers to work with--I hope to work with Glenn for years to come!
