Suzanne Zahr, Inc.

Mercer Island, WA

A multi-disciplinary team of creatives, led by Architect, Suzanne Zahr, operates from a unique retail space in the Mercer Island Town Center. 

When scouting for commercial real estate, Zahr was drawn to the Aviara, a recently built apartment building with a retail base. Her vision to grow her business beyond the confines of a design service practice is now realized, leveraging the storefront off the plaza, as a public gallery and program venue. 

Zahr opened her doors on Thursday, March 31, 2016, debuting the Danish-born artist, Gitte Peters, along with furnishings in collaboration with Gary Henderson Interiors.  The Grand Opening also served as a fundraiser for Art with Heart – a non-profit with the mission to help children overcome trauma through creative expression.  Zahr has an ongoing commitment to donate 5% of all art sales to this inspiring cause.

With an appreciation for both creativity and craftsmanship, Zahr founded SZ Build, Inc. (General Contractor) in 2015.  As a seasoned Architect with Structural Engineering background, Zahr is an advocate for a multi-disciplinary approach to any project, commercial or residential.  Her trusted design/build method engages key trades early on, resulting in time savings, cost savings, higher quality of work and happier clients.

What is the true value of such a diverse array of offerings – Architecture, Interior Design, Construction, Art and Furnishings?  Their seamless integration yields built environments that beautifully house our daily activities and enrich our sense of being.
