Susan M. Lennox, B.Arch., OAA., LEED AP

Architect / Owner

As a University of Toronto Faculty of Architecture graduate from 1992, Susan has had the privilege of practicing architecture for over 25 years. During that time, Susan has learned that approaching a project with an open mind and no preconceived ideas leads to the most successful designs. She prides herself on being an option provider by drawing upon her years of experience in design and construction.

Susan’s passion from the beginning of her career has always been the planning, design and construction of educational and community facilities. There is a great satisfaction and art in creating public buildings for present and future generations. More specifically, she has a vested interested in repurposing older facilities; giving them renewed life. Our society has become accustomed to disposing of the old to make way for the new instead of finding ways to revitalize our aging buildings. Susan’s greatest professional joys have occurred on opening day of a public building she has developed; seeing the excited faces on the community whose lives are enriched due to a successful collaboration based design.

The Lennox family lineage has had a significant impact on Susan's career choice to practice architecture and has led to a passion and interest in designing public buildings. She is a direct descendant of Edward James Lennox and Charles David Lennox. They were a Toronto based architecture firm practising from 1881 to the 1930s and are accredited with designing some of Toronto’s most significant landmarks. Often referred to as “the Builders of Toronto” due to the over 70 buildings they built during their careers; including the famous Old City Hall and Casa Loma.

When Susan is not practising architecture, you will find her in her canoe on one of the many beautiful northern Ontario lakes. Sitting quietly by the water sketching the scenery is her favourite pastime. So if your site is water access only, she will gladly paddle there to discuss your project! If it is the middle of winter, she will jump on her snowmobile. She looks forward to getting to know you and working with you to make your vision a reality.

Susana Marques,B.Arch.

Principal Designer / 3D Artist

Susana Marques is a Ryerson University graduate with a combined 13 years of work experience from working in several medium size architectural firms and, more recently, as an independent freelancer in the architectural and interior design field. Passionate about residential and small buildings, Susana has worked on projects ranging from small residential garages to large cottages, new educational & community buildings.

She is driven by a philosophy that architecture does not end at the building envelope. Instead she believes in a holistic approach where the architecture concept seamlessly extends to the interiors and finishes; the interiors are never considered an afterthought, rather they are a part of the overall design concept.

Susana is a skilled 3D Artist, who takes great pride in finding the best graphic way to convey her architectural ideas to her clients. She keeps up to date with the latest software programs (Revit/AutoCAD/Sketchup) and rendering engines (Vray) to provide extremely realistic or graphically appealing presentations.

In her free time, Susana likes to go to the nearest Archery Club and take some shots at the bullseye! She finds the focus required for this sport very therapeutic. Susana also likes to play her guitar or go for an occasional run on a nice sunny day.
