John Cetra cofounded CetraRuddy on the principle that architecture must engage the urban fabric while enriching the human spirit. His designs incorporate an aesthetic of dynamic geometric composition and sensitively chosen materials to invoke the rhythms and textures of the urban past. John’s understanding of project goals, command of construction technology, and mastery of regulations have allowed him to create memorable buildings within the space constraints, zoning restrictions, and economic requirements of complex urban environments. His commitment to elevating the typology of urban residential architecture to a level of profound cultural impact and distinction has garnered him recognition as an industry leader in tall building technology, historic building renovation, and analytic site development.
