As a specialist in Architecture and Interior Design, Susana’s approach is holistic – paying attention to the functionality (form follows function) of every detail. Whether it’s the positioning of a structure that doubles as support and a visual centerpiece, or the placement of a panel that will affect the way sound travels. Everything is designed with a purpose; a perfect marriage of conceptual and practical.
