What we do
Elementa specializes in creating presentation models, architectural illustrations, and prototypes. We combine advanced design, drawing techniques, modern fabrication, and traditional modeling approaches to support creative processes from concept to finished product.
We offer solutions for architects, designers, students, cultural institutions, and research teams for whom a precise model or professional project presentation is a key element of their work.
Presentation models
We create models for museums and architectural studios using multi-material techniques. Thanks to advanced modeling and an iterative approach, we help present projects in a form that facilitates communication with the audience.

Architectural illustrations
We prepare drawings and visual studies to support concept presentation. Our illustrations allow you to convey the project idea in an attractive and clear graphic form. They can be used as competition, educational, or promotional materials.
Urban models
We create physical models of cities, neighbourhoods, and development plans that support public consultations and urban planning studies. Our models aid in spatial analysis and the clear presentation of complex urban layouts.

Concept models
We offer working, competition, and conceptual models to facilitate the design process. We collaborate with students and architectural studios, providing tools for testing forms and layouts, verifying ideas, and preparing presentations.
Models for theses and competitions
Infographics and diagrams
We create clear and refined infographics, diagrams, and flowcharts that organize complex data and processes. These tools support project or scientific communication. A concise message allows complex concepts to be presented in a clear and engaging manner.
Engineering prototypes
We manufacture prototypes of machine parts and components that allow for the practical testing of design assumptions. We enable iteration and testing of solutions before implementation into production using rapid technical prototyping.
Miniatures and dioramas
We print miniatures and create dioramas for tabletop and role-playing games. We create environments, boards, and narrative backgrounds that enhance gameplay, support story development, and build player immersion in imagined worlds.
Design support
We model and survey buildings, facades, and city sections based on documentation and spatial data. We provide conceptual designs for facades and entire buildings, streamlining design exploration and analysing various options.
Studio
Elementa is an interdisciplinary studio founded by Marcin Kitala, an architect with international experience and success in numerous design competitions. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of architecture, design, drawing, prototyping, and advanced modeling, he can support the design processes of individual clients, companies, and institutions. He is currently pursuing a PhD at the Faculty of Space Technologies at the AGH University of Kraków, researching the feasibility of building infrastructure on the Moon.
Process
We approach each project individually – from needs analysis, through modeling, design, and final execution. We select the technology and tools for the specific task. We utilize parametric modeling and graphic processing software, allowing for efficient iteration and rapid file preparation for fabrication. Our goal is to precisely translate design concepts into tangible objects or presentations.
