Suzanne Hunt Architect is a boutique architectural and interior design practice specialising in residential, heritage, hospitality and mixed use projects in Perth and country Western Australia.
Known for her down-to-earth approach and wide-ranging professional and life experiences, Principal Architect Suzie Hunt has a warm and engaging manner that manifests in the buildings and spaces she designs.
In 2004, as a mum of four young children I established Suzanne Hunt Architect; with fellow architect, mum and now, Associate Catherine Lee. With a couple of computers and a desk in my bedroom I had a dream of delivering beautiful architecture differently.
My 20 years’ experience working in the UK and Australia; in large, small, government and private practices on a range of projects; had highlighted the need for a more personalised, flexible, enjoyable, client-focussed, approach to the delivery of great architecture and design.
Several years have passed and I am proud to say we are still focussed on our clients enjoying their creative journey.
As Principal it is a delight and privilege to walk alongside them providing personalised advice for the duration of their project: from selecting a site, to master planning and briefing; preparing concept designs through to construction administration and project completion.
Working with our in-house design team of architects and designers, our trusted external consultants and professional builders all of whom are selected for their expertise for each project, Catherine and I nurture our clients’ dreams to make them a reality.
Taking on a limited number of projects ensures we have the time to really listen and get to know our clients; and develop considered, holistic design solutions that are fully resolved and documented, financially viable and environmentally sustainable for the long term.
Suzie Hunt graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Architecture (Hons) in 1986. She is a registered architect with the Architects Board of WA, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects and a Chartered Architect of the RIBA. Suzanne Hunt Architect is an A+ Practice with the Institute and a registered company with the Architects Board of WA.
With over 35 years professional experience Suzie is a trusted advisor, recognised professional leader and non-executive Board Director. She brings a wealth of knowledge to the business of architecture; as well as running her own practice she has worked at state and local government levels, and currently sits on several executive boards. In her spare time Suzie is also a presenter on Channel 10’s Australia By Design TV Show, a recognised Public Speaker, media commentator and columnist in local newspapers.
Suzanne Hunt Architect’s designs are strongly influenced by Western Australia’s stunning landscapes, resulting in beautifully detailed timeless buildings and spaces that are fit-for-purpose, financially viable and environmentally sustainable.
