SUSA is an architecture studio founded by sisters Suzan and Sara Ibrahim. Their practice merges rigorous research with material experimentation, grounding complex forms in social, cultural, and ecological contexts. With roots in Malmö, Baghdad, and Toronto, they embrace hybridity as both method and sensibility—drawing on multiple histories to create relational and evolving forms of care in the built environment. SUSA foregrounds a contextual approach to design, working across, exhibitions, publications, and public art. Research-led, iterative, and generative, their work seeks adaptive and meaningful responses to the environments and communities they engage.

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.
