REVIEWS & Testimonials

Nick de Klerk, Director, Translation Architecture

‘Susan and I have worked together on a number of hospitality projects over several years, ranging in scale from large resort projects to urban hotels and a concept mock-up guestroom. Susan is a genuinely collaborative designer who is able to work closely with both architects and interior designers to create and deliver fully integrated, award-winning lighting schemes - which is so important to the success of hospitality spaces. On our Sleep Set concept room, lighting was fundamental to the design concept and Susan pushed the available technology to the limit, working with the whole team - designers, contractor and suppliers to create a memorable and unique experience.’

Mark Lane, Savile Row Projects, client

’As we were taking a basement space to create an Acoustic Demonstration Suite for clients, we knew how important the lighting design would need to be. The work from Susan Lake and her team was exceptional and really brought the space to life. Not only has the lighting ensured it does not feel like a basement, the design has also given the space a unique, signature element.’

Peter Banks, Private residential project, client

“We have used Susan Lake for the design of the lighting of our recently built House Boat. There were particular needs to not only create an impressive atmosphere (both inside and outside) but also to ensure that the power consumption was kept to a minimum - as this House Boat is designed to be Carbon Neutral (or nearly so!)
Susan Lake was particularly helpful in sourcing competitive suppliers for a somewhat complicated overall lighting installation.”

Thomas Lindner, Private residential project, Architect, HOK London

“When working with Susan on a high-end residential project her service was always top notch. Susan's lights brought our design to life at any time of the day.”
