Among the first joint works of the Kojić couple was the Art Pavilion of Cvijeta Zuzorić at Little Kalemegdan in 1928. Together, they created the first dedicated exhibition space in Belgrade, and while the exterior was preserved as Branislav Kojić envisioned and accomplished it, the interior of Danica Kojić disappeared in reconstruction in 1975.

Legacy
From 1924 to 1928 she worked for the Ministry of Construction in Belgrade. In the mid-1920s her practice focused on the interior and exterior design of elementary schools in Serbia. Branislav Kojić, Danica's husband was a modernist, influenced by Dragutin Inkiostri Medenjak, and one of the founders of the Group of Architects of the Modern Movement (1928–1934). Both Danica and Branislav enjoyed Balkan architectural history and, especially the tradition of rural architecture in Serbia, yet she often worked under her husband. She died in 1975 in Belgrade.
In the 1980s and 1990s at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Belgrade, the Danica Kojić Fund was established in recognition of the best graduate work in interior design.
