designs matter has its origins in a landscape design practice established in 1984 by Sally Visick. The original business built up a portfolio of public and private sector clients with commissions in environmental improvements, tourism schemes, housing, conservation areas, public parks and private gardens, throughout Northern Ireland and further afield. Susan Crowther joined Sally in 1989, bringing her considerable experience of private architectural practice to bear on schemes as diverse as war memorials, historic buildings and sculptural steelwork.

By 1998 it was clear that the title, Sally Visick Landscape Architect, no longer reflected either the range of skills available to our clients or our aspirations for the business. We know that high quality, clever design creates enormous added-value...designs do matter!

Susan Crowther

Susan trained at Queen's University Belfast as an architect and has been in private practice since 1979, but she is now best described as a designer. Susan takes great delight in solving problems by design, whether it is the layout of an office interior, a shopfront, a piece of signage, cutomised street furniture or a steel railing. She has considerable experience of working sensitve locations, such as historic town centres and in the renovation and conversion of existing buildings to new uses. A particular expertise in designing sculptural steelwork has recently led to major public art commissions and her artist's impressions of buildings and streescapes are often preferred to computer -generated perspectives.
