Susanna Chung - Building Designer

​

For the last 10 years I have lived off-grid in a solar passive kit-home, with solar panels and rainwater tanks on 100 acres, filled with kangaroos, wombats and echidnas.

 

I love living in partnership with the natural cycles of the seasons, and believe that it is more achievable and easier than many people think.

​

I’ve had a fascination with buildings from a very young age, and was first taught how to read a house plan when I was 7 and my parents started drawing up plans for a renovation.

 

I remember many hours making up my own rooms and house layouts for fun, while my parents discussed the ins and outs of renovating vs simply installing a shed.

​

I am deeply passionate about the environment and sustainable buildings, and spent many years working in the non-for-profit environment sector.

​

My background is in communications, graphic design and photography.
