Susumu Fujita (ssmfjt) operates on the principle that an architecture is both a construction project and a real estate asset (and/or liability). Design and construction are not separate disciplines—they are two integral parts of the same creation. With over two decades of experience in architectural drafting, high-end millwork, general contracting, and real estate consulting, Susumu ensures that projects are not only beautifully designed and expertly built but also strategically positioned as long-term investments.
Traditional project structures often create gaps between disciplines—architects focus on design, contractors prioritize cost, and real estate professionals emphasize marketability. This fragmented approach can lead to delays, conflicting priorities, and costly revisions. ssmfjt provides a more integrated process, where design, construction, and long-term value are considered from the beginning. The same philosophy extends to production and furniture design, ensuring that custom-built elements are seamlessly incorporated into projects with both aesthetic and functional precision.
Beyond architecture and construction, ssmfjt also specializes in furniture and product design, offering custom fabrication solutions that align with the project’s overall vision. Whether it’s a bespoke interior feature, functional built-ins, or full-scale furniture manufacturing, every piece is crafted with attention to design integrity, buildability, and long-term usability. This holistic approach ensures that whether constructing a building or producing a physical object, each project is executed with craftsmanship and strategic foresight.
Every structure—whether residential, commercial, or product-based—is ultimately an investment, whether for long-term use or resale. With experience in real estate sales, development consulting, and product manufacturing, ssmfjt provides additional insight to help clients balance creative vision, functional execution, and financial viability. By eliminating inefficiencies and ensuring alignment between design and execution, ssmfjt delivers projects and products that are intelligently designed, seamlessly executed, and built to stand the test of time.
