Liesl Geiger’s Summary
Liesl Geiger and Andrea Mason were classmates in graduate school and joined forces years later to form Geiger Mason Design in 2005. Their shared sensibility is one that embraces materials, details, and proportion in relationship to the specificity of a project. For them this transcends style. Currently they are working on several residential and commercial projects underway which vary in size and include apartments, a townhouse, a large post production film editing facility in a SoHo loft space, and freestanding houses.
Before forming Geiger Mason Design, Liesl Geiger worked with a varied array of leading architects and designers. With Robert A.M. Stern Architects, she designed homes and institutional spaces in a variety of languages, including modern, shingle and Sonoma vernacular. Earlier in her career, she worked with Peter L. Gluck & Partners and Peter Marino, helping develop modern urban townhouses, corporate offices and commercial spaces. With Vermont iconoclast Turner Brooks, she designed rustic modern furniture. Geiger also has a special interest in glass, and was an apprentice to the New York architectural glass designer James Carpenter. During a year long Fulbright Fellowship in Helsinki, Finland, she studied glass and light in architecture at the University of Industrial Arts. In her own design studio, before joining forces with Andrea Mason, Liesl renovated traditional and modern New York apartments, built a Vermont mountain home and a New York townhouse. She is also the author of The Essence of Home: Timeless Elements of Design, published by The Monacelli Press in November, 2007. A graduate of the Yale School of Architecture in 1994, Liesl is the recipient of the Anne C.K. Garland Award. In 1990, she graduated from Yale College Summa cum Laude with distinction in the major of History of Art.
