Let’s Talk!
“Design rooted in culture, crafted in resilience.”
About Makauro...
Makauro Designs is a design studio based in Tarawa, Kiribati, offering architectural and graphic design solutions grounded in cultural identity and climate resilience.
The name Makauro means “hermit crab” in Kiribati—a symbol of home, adaptability, and natural geometry. Just as the hermit crab carries its shelter and adapts to changing environments, our work embodies resilience and harmony with nature.
Our logo reflects the golden ratio, echoing our philosophy: design that is both calculated and organic. Every project balances precision with creativity, ensuring that each outcome is not only functional but deeply connected to the spirit of place and people.
At Makauro Designs, we believe design is more than aesthetics—it is a way of telling stories, preserving identity, and shaping a sustainable future.
