Elena Vance
Founder & Principal Architect
Elena founded Aurora in 2008 after a decade with leading international studios. She leads design vision across every commission, guided by a lifelong belief in light and proportion.
The people behind the practice.
A close-knit, multidisciplinary team who share one obsession — spaces made with care.
Leadership & Studio
Meet the studio
Architects, designers, engineers and planners working side by side — each project shaped by the whole team.
Julian Reyes
Senior Architect
Julian translates concept into buildable reality. With fifteen years across residential and hospitality, he leads our most complex projects from schematic to site.
Mara Lindqvist
Interior Designer
Mara curates the tactile world of every interior — materials, joinery and light. Her palettes are restrained, warm and unmistakably Aurora.
David Osei
Structural Engineer
David makes the impossible stand up. His structural artistry lets our floating stairs and cantilevers feel effortless — and remain rock solid.
Sophia Chen
Project Manager
Sophia keeps every project on course — budgets, timelines and trades aligned. Clients describe working with her as remarkably calm.
Thomas Bergström
Landscape Architect
Thomas dissolves the line between building and garden. His planting and hardscape schemes root every Aurora project firmly in its place.
