[ 0 ] Ethos
A living archive,
an alter ego.
Elelog is a small architecture and design practice based in Berlin, solo-led by Eleonora Popovska.
The studio is, above all, a state of mind—an alter ego. A place where dreaming becomes a profession, where the self unfolds into creation, where ideas take shape, concepts become experiences, and imaginary worlds are brought to life.
[ 1 ] Ele+Log
Origin and Outlook.
Eleonora is the name. Elelog is the practice. This project began as a personal exploration—a try to map my life through the things I’ve created. It’s become both archive and evolution: a place to trace thoughts, processes, and projects across time. The name reflects that dual nature.
[ Ele ] comes from Ele—onora.
[ Log ] suggests a systematic record, a living document. Together: Elelog. A name, a method, and a mindset.
[ 2 ] Mission
Design as rebellion.
Against entropy, against noise.
The creative process often leads somewhere unexpected—yet that place is always marked by harmony. Creating something is a way of understanding it—not only what is being made, but why its creation matters. It’s a process of questioning.
Elelog is therefore both a method and a mirror. From the first question to the final touch, each process is shaped by investigation and reflection. Every project begins with curiosity and unfolds through intuition, balanced by critical thought. At Elelog, there’s no allegiance to typology, discipline, or scale—but to how things work, and how they feel, inside and out. Whether it’s a house, an illustration, an interface, or a brand story—if it uncovers a truth where beauty can be felt, it belongs here.
Design at Elelog is a quest for purpose. It aims to reduce entropy in the universe—bring clarity, reduce noise, not create more of it. It begins with listening and ends with meaning—transforming intuition into logic, concept into structure, memory into matter, and curiosity into form.
Each project asks how to respond to people and places, rather than speak over them. The work seeks an expression that feels right because it is rooted in truth—of materials, of context, of human and planetary needs. Nature is not a backdrop for design, but a co-creator. And the responsibility to make the world better—one design at a time—is not a trend. It’s the quiet force behind every decision.
[ 3 ] Method
Principles in Practice.
At any scale, design is a form of problem-solving, but not all problems wear a label. Some are emotional, some systemic, some relational. If there were ever a guide to navigate it all, this is one attempt at mapping it.
Design begins with listening
Before solving, there’s sensing. Understanding context, emotion, and unspoken need is the foundation of meaningful work.Design is a dialogue
Every project is a conversation—between body and space, memory and intention, logic and intuition, the past and the future.Process is the project
Ideas unfold through research, making, and reflection. The journey is circular, not linear—and the answer is rarely final.Curiosity drives clarity
Better questions lead to better outcomes.
Complexity is welcome—so long as it’s distilled into what matters.Design is action and reflection
Good design moves. It’s not just thought, but presence. Not just insight, but intention.
Nature is a collaborator
The environment isn’t a backdrop—it’s a stakeholder. Good design bears the responsibility of shaping a better tomorrow.Meaning matters more than trends
Ephemeral styles fade. What remains is the resonance of a clear idea, well expressed and honestly made.Scale doesn’t define significance
Whether a home or an icon, every detail carries the power to alter perception, spark connection, or hold memory.Design makes space
Good design reduces noise and increases presence. It creates room for feeling, and elevates the human condition.Design is never neutral
Every decision shapes the world. Design can soothe or provoke, include or exclude, clarify or confuse.
[ 4 ] Clients
In Good Company.
There is no typical Elelog client. The studio works with individuals, teams, and institutions. What unites them all is a care for meaning, a respect for process, and a desire to make thoughtful work.
Whether shaping an object, an illustration, or a building, each project unfolds as a creative exchange. At Elelog, you are not just a client but a trusted partner—and you are invited for a dialogue.

Check out the Log! A record of my creative journey spanning over 15+ years, encompassing a curated selection of work, each project a chapter with its own unique story to tell. The archive aims to reflect the ebb and flow of my creative output in a transparent, chronological, and structured library, seeking an answer to the ultimate question: Who am I?—for we know, the answer to that inquiry is not 42.
Step in, explore, and if you feel inspired by what you see, let's create something meaningful together.
