Trudy Dujardin, FASID, LEED AP+ID+C, is internationally known for her passion for eco-elegant design, as well as sophisticated, award-winning interiors. She balances her graceful approach to Gently Green design with a deep respect for Historic Preservation, honoring the surrounding landscape, and dedication to abundant comfort. Beyond her commitment to making each and every home unique to her clients is her ability to make the entire process enjoyable. Clients call Trudy the "funmaker!" Based on her belief that "A Healthy Home is the Ultimate Luxury, TM" she is a LEED Accredited Professional with a specialty in Interior Design and Construction, reflecting her thorough understanding of green building practices and principles.
When people ask Trudy how to make their homes a true sanctuary, she tells them that air quality is the key. A leader and visionary in the Sustainable Design industry, Trudy has spent years researching the best choices in paints, floor finishes, and fabrics that are not only luxurious, but that also support your health. New furniture, carpeting, or chemical-laden materials used in a renovation or design project can be the source of indoor air pollution, and the cause of allergies and asthma. For that reason, Trudy encourages the use of No-VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paints and finishes, free of harmful solvents that off-gas toxic vapors long past the time that that "just painted" smell has faded.
Comfort begins with a feeling of being sheltered, in a sanctuary of your own. No matter how beautiful the interiors, how striking the artwork, or how stunning the views, home is the place where we can find rest and community with the people we love--and quarantine with.
