Studio ROD was founded in Bordeaux in 2023, built on a belief in blending creativity and sustainability to deliver timeless, thoughtful design. Our ethos is all about crafting spaces that reflect both innovation and a deep respect for the environment, rooted in a personal, client-focused approach.
We believe curiosity is key. We’re driven by the desire to know more and do better each time. This attitude not only fuels our own growth as a practice but also inspires our clients to reach beyond the usual and explore unique solutions. We don’t just follow trend. We aim to redefine them, ensuring every project stands out in its own right.
In short, what makes us different is that we never stop pushing boundaries: both ours and our clients'. And that’s exactly why people come to us.
No project is too large for us. We embrace scale and are driven to grow.
We form a dedicated team with both internal expertise and external collaborators.
We adapt our team - combining internal expertise and external collaborators - to match the scale and complexity of each project.
We believe in close collaboration with all partners to achieve the best results.
We strive to grow steadily, building our team through successful projects and lasting client relationships.
Studio ROD may be a small practice today but our ambition is to grow organically, fueled by the recognition and success of each project. Although it's currently led by a single person, we’re committed to establish collaborations and partnerships with other colleagues in order to assemble the right expertise for each project right from the start, ensuring that we can meet any scale and complexity.
Once the team is in place, the real fun begins! We dive into understanding every detail of the client's needs and the site, and we collaborate closely with our partners to craft your project. Our commitment is to guide our clients through every step of the process until the project is successfully delivered.
I'm Rodrigo Rodrigues, the architect behind Studio ROD. I graduated in Architecture and Urban Planning from the University of Lisbon and hold a Master’s in Sustainable & Environmental Design from the Architectural Association in London.
Licensed since 2007, I’ve worked with leading studios in France, the UK, and the Netherlands. Over the years, I've contributed to projects across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia, covering a wide range of sectors from residential and commercial developments to urban planning and transportation.
I believe in a close, collaborative approach with each client, always bringing an approachable and attentive style to the table. The goal is always to create spaces that feel both inspired and truly tailored.
If you’d like to discuss a project or explore how we might work together, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
