Testimonial


"Susanne has done an excellent job at interpreting our ideas and requests to produce an incredibly smart, well thought through and stylish design for our home.


The way she has optimised a small foot print and available sunlight is fantastic. We've been very impressed with her knowledge of thermal efficiency and passive house principles which has resulted in a design which we are confident will be very comfortable, enjoyable and cost effective home to live in.


Throughout the design process we have found Susanne to be very easy to work with and have really appreciated the collaborative relationship that has been fostered with ourselves as clients and also with our builder. We can really tell that Susanne has taken great pride in our project and that can be clearly seen in the quality of the final product."
