Kardish Health Food Centre
Suzette was our Architect and Designer for our locations in Barrhaven, Blossom Park, Westboro, and Kanata. Suzette was great to work with; she was able to understand our needs and unique design challenges and work with us to design and implement the newest store concept for Kardish. She brings a good balance of creativity and practicality to her design projects and is very detailed in her work.

In my opinion, Suzette is absolutely brilliant. Suzette gave above and beyond what my expectations were in her ability to design. Thank you, Suzette, for my beautiful, spacious, rustic boutique. I was also under a very tight timeline, in which she delivered it, it seemed with ease.

Lindsay & McCaffrey Limited in Manotick
This project designed itself due to my client's clear vision of a vintage-style country charm of a store. Custom furniture was designed to hold shoe boxes, sweaters, handbags and clothing. You really should visit and maybe buy a thing or two...
Glebetrotters Shoe store
In the consulting industry, each situation is unique and requires a specific set of solutions. For this project, I helped my client define a custom way to showcase the handbags. We were able to achieve a great end result. Eye-catching and successful.
Kardish Health Food Centre
I greatly enjoyed collaborating with the owners in the design and layout of their stores. This photo shows the use of their logo as the prime light source over the large cash unit. It is also used as a wayfinding tool in a substantially sized retail environment.
Hair salon and Spa
Luxury and Serenity
3,000 sq. ft. Floor plan
This project is a great example of how I kept my clients’ best interests in mind. We started by conducting an in-depth study of function and adjacencies, followed by a requisite mood and suitable material selection to enhance the ambiance.
Reception area, waiting area and
coat storage
Every object tells a story, and it is no different in the retail world. Our aim was to attract a discerning clientele used to up-scale materials and furniture. The reception, the primary point of contact, emphasized this logic, by its use of new materials, unexpected light sources and low-key merchandise display.
Salon and Manicure waiting area
Luxury and serenity re-stated. The recessed wall displays house a selection of beauty products to pique the clients' curiosity. The lounge chairs speak of comfort and relaxation, complementing the wall and floor finishes chosen to reflect a Mediterranean holiday atmosphere. Who wouldn't unwind here?
Spa area
The curved hallway speaks of leisurely strolls and quiet reflection, exactly what a spa-goer craves. The indirect lighting draws you down the corridor to discover the amenities and the pleasure of being coddled for an hour or so, or as long as you wish to stay.
Office and Residential Work
Character and Definition
Exterior view of Boardroom
This project is a great example of how I keep my clients’ best interests in mind. We started by conducting a thorough space needs analysis, and slowly built a relevant space optimization plan for this 12,000 sq. ft. space housing five Directorates. Having accomplished this, we saw that we could fit in a 20 seat Boardroom. It was a win-win moment. All the clients were very enthusiastic about the result.
Lobby of Residential Condo
This 17 storey residential Condo was in dire need of a 'facelift'. We budgeted for a renovation to all the common corridors and Lobby area. On opening night, we were advised by a reputable real estate broker that we had increased each units value by $25,000.00. The Board members and owners were pleasantly surprised by this.
Office building entry
With this project, we were able to add a dramatic ceiling detail to a bland 2 storey entry that had an outdated 70s vibe. Would you like to learn more about my services?
Reception area
The clients were very happy that we used their signature red as a bold colour statement in their Reception area. This brought their marketing scheme full circle!
Teller area
Do all financial institutions need to be conservative? The Director chose this location because of its high, open ceiling which became the starting point for a unique vibe. Members were thrilled with the updated look and feel of the space.
Medical office
Reception areas in medical offices require a multitude of functions. This one incorporated a magazine display due to the need of its busy waiting area. The client was amazed at the use of the space due to its existing size constraints.
Reception area
This area incorporated signage for wayfinding and desk heights suitable for the disabled ♿ which is a critical element in today's world. The bulkhead helped to identify the important function of this reception area.
Technology Acquisition and Training
In the consulting industry, each situation is unique and requires a specific set of solutions. For this project, I helped my client define the ideal outcome for the situation, and through strategic planning we were able to achieve a great end result.
