About Suzanne.Tate
I am an expert in space potential
ArchitectI am co-founder of an architectural & design studio called studioTO based in London, UK. My passion is observing human behaviour and creating spaces which make better human beings. A lot of challenges we face on the global scale have been created by ourselves.
We are facing an existential threat. Not to our survival but to our identity. There is an interdependence between our inner and outer world. I truly believe that our surroundings affect our state of mind. Where we live & work has a profound influence on our well being. My purpose and primary focus is holistically improving spaces we inhabit and in doing so, supporting human beings in cultivating their inner conditions.We mustn’t forget that social healing is indispensable part of the ecological healing.
Our aim is to deliver social impact respecting principles of Living Building, restoring healthy relationship between nature, place and community.
We must rethink how we create our cities, towns, neighbourhoods, homes and offices, and all the spaces and infrastructure in between. This is part of the necessary process of reinventing our relationship with the natural world and each other—reestablishing ourselves as not separate from, but part of nature.
