My name is Elliott Orion Ruzicka, and I am a practicing architect in Manhattan, New York. My specialty lies in the design of laboratories. Through studying science and technology facilities, I have developed a strong affinity for technical design. Extensive interviews with scientists and researchers about their environments and workflows have fostered my appreciation for designing spaces that cater to specific workflows while maintaining flexibility, all within an enjoyable architectural experience.

I am passionate about space architecture and engineering, and I believe my background offers a unique perspective on the field. Too often, speculative space architecture is hindered by unnecessary embellishment and unrealistic design choices. My design philosophy emphasizes a commitment to the constraints of physics and realistic expectations within the design context. I aim to push the boundaries of contemporary design while challenging preconceived notions of what is possible.
