Led by Geoffrey Mouen—whose background includes Robert A.M. Stern Architects and Disney's Celebration—we balance classical design principles with modern sustainability to create places where people truly love to live, work, and gather.

Our Values & Approach

At Geoffrey Mouen Architects, we create beautiful environments where people thrive. Our foundation rests on genuine collaboration with clients, respecting the context of each project, and delivering enduring quality that lasts for generations. Geoffrey personally guides each project, ensuring meticulous attention to detail from concept to completion.

We balance classical design principles with modern innovation, drawing from architectural traditions while embracing today's best practices and technologies. This approach creates spaces that connect us to history and community while addressing contemporary challenges. By thinking globally about issues like climate change while acting locally through thoughtful design, we deliver environments that are not only beautiful but financially sound and socially sustainable—places where people truly love to live, work, and gather.

The Roots of Our Practice

Geoffrey's architectural journey began in an Olmsted-designed Ohio neighborhood, where tree-lined streets sparked his fascination with how buildings shape communities. With an artist mother and stockbroker father, architecture became the perfect fusion of creativity and precision.

After honing his skills at Savannah College of Art and Design and Robert A.M. Stern Architects in New York, Geoffrey was tapped by Disney to serve as Town Architect for Celebration—transforming new urbanist principles into a vibrant community. This success led to similar roles at Baldwin Park and Golden Oak.

In 1999, Geoffrey established his practice in Central Florida with a distinctive approach: focusing on one project at a time to ensure uncompromising quality. This philosophy has guided work on over 150 homes, civic buildings, and community plans, earning prestigious recognitions including the Palladio Award and eleven Aurora Awards.

Today, Geoffrey's greatest satisfaction comes from creating places where people genuinely love to live—continuing the legacy of thoughtful design that inspired him as a child.

  • "Geoffrey is a very talented architect that understands proportion, historical precedence and has an artist touch when designing an elevation for a home. His knowledge of history as it relates to the architectural styles is impressive and evident in his work. Geoffrey is easy to work with and responsive during all phases of a project."

    - Don Hempel

    President of Issa Homes, Inc.

  • "We wanted to build a "house with a soul," something truly beautiful, in the context of the homes built in the past. However, weren't sure where to turn as most of the beautiful houses we were inspired by were either 100 years old or were completely out of our price range. Geoffrey Mouen gave us exactly what we asked for. The elusive "house with a soul," but within reasonable price perspective. Geoffrey is a true artist and a master of his craft. It is as near perfect a house design as we could have hoped for.”
