Hospitality design: limitless creative possibilities, ranging from restaurants to a variety of guest-focused spaces.
Susanne spent five years in London, England, specializing in hospitality design. She designed numerous award-winning nightclubs and worked closely with one of the UK's largest breweries, designing hundreds of pubs and hotels.
Since then, she's assisted multiple Calgary restaurants in designing spaces with the perfect ambience to partake in a delectable dish.
Lil Empire has certainly made its mark in Calgary! The Bridgeland location, designed in collaboration with Made by Marcus, set the tone for a neighborhood-friendly vibe back in 2020. Then came Capitol Hill in 2022, bringing that same welcoming atmosphere. And now, the Beltline location has officially opened in June 2025! It’s exciting to see how SDID has helped shape these spaces into vibrant spots for great food and community connection. Have you visited any of them yet?
