Design as
a Form of Care
With over 14 years of practice, Susanne approaches every project as a collaboration. She listens before she designs — understanding how a family moves through a home, what they value, and what they've never found elsewhere.
The studio works in a restrained palette of natural materials: warm limestones, pale European oaks, handwoven textiles, and aged metals. Not because they are fashionable, but because they age beautifully and never tire.
Each project ends with a space that feels inevitable — as if it could not have been any other way.

Susanne transformed our Bel Air home into something beyond what we imagined possible. She listened deeply to how we actually live, and the result is a home that feels entirely, perfectly ours.
The kitchen design Susanne delivered has genuinely changed how our family spends time together. It's beautiful, functional, and completely timeless. We've received more compliments than we can count.
