Interior Architect & Designer
About Ellen Fitzgerald
In 2019, Ellen Fitzgerald led the adaptive reuse of a decommissioned Brutalist power substation in Rotterdam into a mixed-use cultural hub, preserving its raw concrete vaults while inserting lightweight timber mezzanines that respond to human scale and daylight rhythms. She doesn’t sketch furniture first; she maps thermal gradients, acoustical shadows, and pedestrian eddies to determine where space breathes and where it holds its breath. Her work rejects 'style as finish,' treating color not as surface treatment but as spatial punctuation, deep indigo applied only where ceiling height drops below 2.4 meters to visually lift compression. She’s published three field notebooks on threshold design: how doorways, changes in floor material, and even shifts in ambient light temperature cue behavioral transitions in domestic and civic interiors. Her clients include municipal housing authorities rethinking density, not through square-meter optimization, but by recalibrating the emotional weight of vertical circulation, stair landings, and shared balcony sightlines.
