SUSA is an architectural studio reshaping the built environment through complex forms rooted in context. Working between Malmö, Baghdad and Toronto, the studio investigates material transformation, hybridity, and the unexpected through rigorous research. Integrating fabrication, robotics, and material systems, SUSA embraces ambiguity—crafting layered spaces attuned to their geographic, social, and cultural environments. From buildings to exhibitions, publications, and public art, the studio foregrounds sustainability, addressing community needs while navigating the evolving tools of architecture.

SUSA was founded by Swedish-Iraqi-Canadian architects Sara and Suzan Ibrahim–whose combined experience spans BIG, OMA, Adjaye Associates, and Lina Ghotmeh–Architecture. As educators at the University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, and the Architectural Association, the founders lead a collaborative, research-driven, and materially experimental practice—grounded in care, joy, and collective authorship.
