About
One Six Design
I’m Carlos Rojas, founder of One Six Design and a licensed architect with over 15 years of experience. I began my career designing schools and later specialized in residential architecture as a project architect for boutique firms. I’ve helped clients across the Bay Area navigate planning departments and move projects smoothly from first concept through approval.
I offer simple, elegant, human-scale design focused on livability, comfort, meaningful detail.
