ROJO Design is a Brisbane-based architecture practice with extensive experience across residential projects.
We support clients from the earliest stages of a project, including research and feasibility, through to design, documentation, and construction.
Established in 2012, ROJO Design was founded on a desire to create imaginative, sophisticated spaces grounded in how people live. Our approach is highly personal, offering a bespoke design experience tailored to each client and shared throughout the design journey.
Architecture is more than a profession to us, it is our passion. We bring that expertise and energy to every stage of the process, working closely with clients to ensure each project is both practical and thoughtfully resolved.

Claudi is the founding director of ROJO Design. She is our resident chatterbox and public relations maven. Claudi works closely with clients from concept through too construction to see their vision become reality. A talented architect Claudi is also a qualified interior designer with an eye for clean designs that are practical and beautifully crafted. An evolving minimalist (when children allow) she is equally at home with maximalist and other design trends. Claudi is your first point of contact for new projects and she is happy to chat about your specific needs.
​
When not working or cooking up a storm Claudi loves spending time with her husband, two children and her menagerie of pets.

Craig is a core member of the ROJO Design family. He is our quiet general knowledge buff and resident technical guru. Craig brings an abundance of local and international experience to the team focusing on bespoke housing and commercial projects.
A methodical architect, Craig is usually working in the background to ensure all the technical elements of your dream design are being carefully considered and implemented. Craig writes, teaches and carries out research as part of our engagement with the architectural community.

When not problem solving projects for our clients ROJO Design Craig will be found relaxing with his nose in a good book or savouring a sweet treat as a self-confessed chocoholic.

Donovan is the latest addition to the ROJO Design family. Having joined the practice while still a student, he is now a fully fledged graduate of architecture. Donovan brings energy to the practice as our resident minion and jack of all trades. Donovan is typically working hard in the background putting our software through its paces to assist in the generation of drawings and renders. Donovan is a versatile designer (and a budding fashionista) with his dapper handmade concrete bow ties that he crafts in his spare time.
​
When he is not chained to our computer aided drawing software he is gaming or exploring Brisbane on his environmentally friendly scooter.
