ASSOCIATE

“One of the best parts of managing a project is seeing its evolution, from the very first conversation about a client’s desires and the initial sketches, to the construction and finishes, to the final installation a client sees their completed home for the very first time. It’s very humbling to watch someone have this experience with a home that they will enjoy for many years to come.”

Michael Geller’s passion for architecture became apparent at an early age, when he took every drafting class offered at his Pennsylvania high school. He graduated from the University of Miami with his Bachelor of Architecture in 2011 before attending graduate school at the University of Notre Dame, where he was a Fagan Grant Recipient and Special Commendation Honoree. He graduated with his Master of Architectural Design and Urbanism in 2013. During his studies, Mike interned with several notable firms including Duany Plater-Zyberk & Partners and Robert A.M. Stern Architects before joining GPSA in 2013.

Mike moved up the ranks at the firm, from Draftsperson to Job Captain to Project Manager, before being named an Associate in 2024. Operating at multiple levels of the firm’s structure has given him an intimate familiarity with the firm’s design ethos and internal organizational flow. As an Associate, he manages a number of internal teams and on each project coordinates the many various consultants and collaborators that help bring a home to life. He says, “One of my favorite parts of the process is when we are in the early stages of design, working intensely with a client. It’s such an important time of collaboration as we take their wants and needs and channel our creative energy into a design that will ultimately become a home that is, hopefully, more than they could have even imagined.”

Mike is actively involved with the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art and spent seven years as the co-chair for their PLINTH program, which seeks to build up the younger membership and increase awareness of classicism among the next generation of architects. His personal apartment renovation was published in Domino and he has appeared on the ICAA’s “Classicism in Conversation” podcast.

Mike lives with his wife and young son in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan. On most summer weekends, they can be found in Montauk, fishing, golfing, and enjoying the beach with extended family.
