SUSA is an architectural practice reimagining the built environment through content-driven design and complex form. Rooted in diasporic experiences between Baghdad, Malmö, and Toronto, our work explores material transformation, hybridity, and the unexpected through curious research. By pushing fabrication and material intelligence, we embrace ambiguity, crafting spaces and objects that are layered, evocative, and deeply attuned to cultural and spatial histories.

We believe in the importance of collaboration, joy, and care throughout the design process. Our approach integrates fabrication, robotics, and formal design with rigorous research, ensuring that each project is deeply attuned to the needs of both clients and communities. From buildings to exhibitions, publications, and installations, we craft spaces that are layered, evocative, and reflective of our commitment to sustainability, tools, identity, and the limitless potential of the built environment.

SUSA is directed by Suz Ibrahim and Sara Ibrahim, who are Swedish-Iraqi-Canadian, and licensed architects in both Toronto, Canada, and London, United Kingdom.
