“Suzanne has been our partner on several communities over the years. She is extremely talented and open to ideas from our side of the table. She is one designer that knows how to work within tight budget constraints as well as provide exceptional, lavish designs in higher end, custom type product. One of the best things about doing business with Suzanne and her team is that she truly knows how to roll with the punches. This past year we had 2 installs that were “difficult” to say the least. The homes were not ready for her but she made the best of it- working around painters, landscapers etc. – and never a complaint. Even with these challenges, we were able to open on time with beautiful model homes.”

Residential Design: Before and After
“Suzanne is a master at decorating in a manner that fits her client. In our living room she incorporated many pieces of furniture that had been in my family for generations that I was not sure how they would fit together. Suzanne made it happen by taking my ideas, fusing them with her experience and design sense, and creating a warm, inviting living space. I love working together with Suzanne, and the best part is that we have fun and laugh a lot while doing the work.”

“Last night we signed the papers completing the sale of our house. I cried! As I cleaned this house for the final walk-through probably for the last time with all the furniture in place, I just admired my home! I am trying to put into words how very beautiful our home is and all because of you! This has been such a wonderful place with great memories. Both times you have decorated this house it has been beautiful. However, this last time...every detail is amazing! I LOVE all the bathrooms, and all the special features we created together. It has been so fun! The furniture fits like a glove! You are so talented and have a gift for capturing what I like most in my spaces.
You are so amazing in what you do! I am so grateful for you! I love working with you...that is part of the adventure! I wish we could have completed the original vision for the Natchez house with the textures and colors, because I loved the direction that was going....but we have the Deer Meadow property to begin planning!”

“My experience has been over a vast range of services and projects spanning almost 20 years. I first worked with Suzanne Hanzal as a residential homebuilder. She was always an integral member of our early design team. Suzanne worked with our staff and our Architect in areas such as, floor plan development, design, furniture layout, finishes, color selection and specifications. She was able to then turn around and present our model homes with interior designs that highlighted all of the special features of our homes. Suzanne’s aptitude to work with color and texture is unparalleled! I have worked with a number of high-end interior designers and I have never seen such inherent ability in creating breath-taking color palettes. Her interior designs always showcased our product at it’s best, regardless of whether it was an entry level townhouse or a million dollar luxury home. She was always comfortable working with budgets, changes, schedules and product availability. Her design work translated our homes into marketable models, which was an instrumental part of our company’s amazing success over a 12 year period. (Which allowed me to retire early!!)
My most recent project with Suzanne was a 40,000 square foot private high school. She worked on the furnishings, finishes, colors and product specifications. Once again her ability to get the most “bang for the buck” was key in the success of the project. Her design talents resulted in a lively, fun, attractive school that impressed our students and the community as a whole.
Suzanne’s expertise so impressed me, that I talked her into working with my wife and I on our personal residence. Her success in really understanding who we were as a family, resulted in a showcase home, that even now (11 years later) still receives “ooses and ahhs” from visitors. One of Suzanne’s most impressive strengths is her understanding of value. It is key to have the understanding when saving $50 costs you in the big picture. Additionally, Suzanne took great pride in finding “big impact, little cost” items that really added that extra “wow” to a room or home. She has recently finished her interior design work on a lake house for us, and it too is a work of art. Suzanne can always tap into the heart of the home, whether for a model or a private residence, and that results in design masterpieces!”
