Room Review came into being in 1984 after a spell designing sets in theatre and television. Susanne completed a four year BA (Hons) course at what was then Trent Polytechnic (now Nottingham Trent University). She has always loved buildings and has a passion to save them from demolition, mis-use or, worse, poor design concepts! 

​

In the mid '90s, wishing to understand her subject in greater detail, she took a year out to take an MA in Conservation of Buildings at The King's Manor in York, studying the interiors of Sir John Soane in particular.

​

When living near Guildford, work tended to be gathered around the depths of the Surrey Hills and South London but now, having re-located to Dorset, her work has moved there too.

​

Susanne looks at the whole of the project - not just the detail - thinking 'outside the box' For example: it might be better to relocate the kitchen to the other end of the house rather than trying to make it work where it is. Anything from a re-arrangement, a de-clutter, updating the colour scheme or a completely new build can be considered.

Always willing to chat through a client's ideas and see where they lead...

give her a call.
