For Alena Bulataya, design is more than just arranging furniture and picking color palettes. It’s a journey into the depths of creativity and an exploration of the human experience through the lens of interiors. As the founder, ideological inspirer, and art director of Interior Design Buro, Alena has carved a niche for herself in the world of interior design that extends far beyond the boundaries of her native Belarus.
Alena’s design journey commenced at the National Academy of Fine Arts, where she plunged into the world of interior design. Yet, her passion for crafting distinctive spaces led her to Milan, the global epicenter of design. There, she refined her craft, learning to infuse elegance and individuality into every project.
With a decade of experience behind her, Alena embarked on a mission to bring her unique vision to life. Interior Design Buro was born, a studio that has since grown into a tightly-knit team of seasoned design and architecture professionals. Together, they shape interiors that are more than spaces; they are narratives waiting to be unfolded.
With a decade of experience under her belt, Alena embarked on a mission to bring her unique vision to life. Interior Design Buro was born, a studio that has since grown into a tightly-knit team of experienced design and architecture professionals. Together, they craft interiors that are not just spaces but stories waiting to be told.
Over nearly 15 years, Alena Bulataya’s Design Buro has completed over 550 projects, ranging from intimate private spaces to expansive public environments. However, it is the latter category that holds a special place in the firm’s heart. Their designs have not only gained recognition from industry professionals but have also achieved international recognition as finalists in prestigious competitions across the UK, Italy, and Germany.
These achievements have not only boosted the team’s confidence but have also ignited their motivation to create more inspiring and captivating projects, not only across Europe but around the world. Today, Alena’s team boasts an impressive portfolio of projects spanning the CIS, Europe, America, and the United Arab Emirates.
One of the most significant milestones in Alena’s journey was the opening of Interior Design Buro’s branch in Dubai, which took place 1.5 years ago. Since then, Alena and her team have played a pivotal role in transforming numerous public facilities in Dubai, from a modern medical clinic on Jumeirah Street to chic beauty salons in Dubai Mall and the Financial Center, as well as stylish restaurants and cafes in the heart of the city. Their influence extends to luxurious villas in the most prestigious districts of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
At the core of Interior Design Buro’s philosophy is the pursuit of creating functional interiors infused with a unique, global design sensibility. It’s about crafting spaces that radiate an atmosphere of happiness and harmony, compelling visitors to return repeatedly.
This pursuit of excellence is underpinned by continuous development, practice, visits to world design exhibitions, participation in international competitions, and a culture of collaboration that encourages the sharing of experiences and ideas. The result? Cafes, restaurants, boutiques, beauty salons, and other public spaces that possess a soul and a distinctive sense of style.
Alena herself defines their design vision as “elegant, modern chic that meets all standards of functionality and, of course, the client’s wishes and goals.” It’s a vision that has propelled Alena Bulataya from the confines of a Belarusian classroom to the global stage, leaving a legacy of inspired interiors and delighted clients.
As Alena and her team continue to redefine the boundaries of design, there is no doubt that they will remain dedicated to crafting spaces that are as functional as they are enchanting, as modern as they are timeless, and as unique as the clients they serve. In the hands of Alena Bulataya, design transcends the ordinary and embraces the extraordinary, one beautiful space at a time.
