Elena Koroleva AIA NCARB
A passion for designing and building fluid spatial experiences that inspire daily life ultimately led Elena Koroleva to open her eponymous design firm. Motivated by the idea that history and culture frame our built environments, her design process is rooted in a user-centric philosophy, and her aesthetic decisions are based on explorations of fluidity, natural light, form and scale.
Prior to launching EKD, Elena co-founded EN Design, a residential renovations and development firm. She was an Associate Director of Design with Lyric Hospitality, a tech-powered short-term accommodation startup, and served as an Associate Architectural Designer with Studios Architecture in New York where she led the design and development of high-end interior renovations, master plans, commercial base building renovations, and ground-up developments.
Over the last decade, she received Interior Design Magazine’s “Best of the Year Award”, and her projects have been published in Interior Design Magazine and Architectural Record.
Elena is a Licensed Architect in New York State.
