RJ Profile Portrait 2023 lo_res.jpg

RJ Zheng [Renjie]

Associate Partner

RJ provides a decade of experience in predominantly commercial, retail and hospitality projects that further enhances and expands on the team's varied sector experience.  Prior to joining CDGA, he was with Aedas Singapore and worked on high-profile local projects like the Raffles Hotel conservation A&A, as well as numerous commercial and retail developments  and competitions.  His proficiency in managing design competitions and feasibility studies is often complemented by his strong belief in improving upon the social and cultural fabric of our built environment. 

In addition, his experience in running and managing live projects on the ground with the consultants and project team proved integral to achieving many ambitious construction targets.

Outside of work, RJ spends too much time and money collecting Singapore colonial and WWII maps and prints.  He dreams of one day designing and building his own private museum to display his collection.  He spends his leisure time playing soccer, cycling, binge watching TV series, and posting pretentious architecture photos on Instagram.
