I’m Alena Bulataya, an interior and product designer, Founder & Creative Director of AB Design Buro.
For more than 17 years, I have been working in design, building an international practice across the United States, the Middle East, Europe and Asia. Together with my team, we have completed more than 350 projects across luxury residential, hospitality, healthcare and commercial interiors, as well as furniture and product design. We believe great design goes far beyond aesthetics. We create spaces that are refined yet deeply functional — environments with character, emotional intelligence and a strong sense of identity. Over the years, our work has received international awards and recognition and has been featured in leading design and lifestyle media. My professional journey has also included international jury and expert appointments.
Today, AB Design Buro brings together interior architecture, design, furniture, art and detail to create distinctive environments shaped around each client, place and culture.
For me, luxury is not excess. It is precision, individuality and the feeling that everything belongs exactly where it is.
