Mcw Architects Lien Geens Associate Director
I thrive on challenging projects, enjoying the transformation of complex ideas into effortlessly simple buildings. I pursued my passion for architecture at the University of Louvain in Belgium, balancing late-night studio work with intense handball training. Moving to Madison, Wisconsin, I discovered the joy of long-distance running.

To deepen my sustainability knowledge, I graduated with an MPhil in Environmental Design in Architecture from the University of Cambridge in 2008, while enjoying memorable rowing adventures. Working on various university projects with Peter, Colin, and Murdoch, I returned to the University of Cambridge and earned my Part 3 qualification in 2009. That same year, I embarked on my most rewarding project; becoming a mum to Noah, followed by Jasper two years later.

In 2012, I joined MCW, drawn by the wonderful people and inspiring projects. Passionate about sustainable architecture, I became a certified Passivhaus Designer in 2022.

Outside of work:
Outside of work, I love being on the netball court and escape to the mountains for outdoor adventures with my boys.
