MEET SUSAN

Somewhere between creative energy and pure serenity, I find balance. Life is about balance, so is design.

My approach to design is respectful and considered, preserving the character and authenticity of an existing building whilst creating something entirely new. I have profound respect for classic building methods and traditional handicrafts. The time and consideration of hand building to woodcarving is symbolic of love and devotion. To honour the handmade ideology means that each project’s interior concerns are responded to individually, with consideration of the emotional, cultural and anthropological context. Projects take on life and reflect the character and evolution through a collaborative design process. I enjoy bringing a new approach to traditional techniques creating interiors with traces of history, each with a new story to tell.
