Architecture for the Australian Lifestyle
About Urban Den
Founded in 2012, Urban Den Architects have designed homes around Sydney, for clients who are looking for a home that is tailored to their lifestyle, enhances their day to day to lives, and is timeless.
Yelena started her career by gaining experience at the esteemed Harry Seidler & Associates for five years, before opening Urban Den Architects. Whether it is an investment home that is being designed to maximise profits, a home renovation for a growing family, Urban Den has the skills, knowledge and creativity to make it a reality.
A house is the most expensive asset you will own, and to that end, Urban Den are driven to create a beautiful, high quality home for every client that they can be proud of living and entertaining in.
No two houses are the same, and we go over and above to ensure each house is designed to take advantage of its site and location. Whether it is a terrace house, a dual occupancy, a brick bungalow, or a Hamptons home, each design is unique, and achieves your goals, whether it's to add more value to your property, or to create a bespoke design to live in.
We treat your house like its our own, and this is shown in the way we manage your project, from pricing up a project early in the design process to ensure it is meeting the budget, to carefully helping the client select the right builder for construction. Urban Den has developed long standing relationships with Sydney's best professionals in the industry. Our contact list of consultants, suppliers, contractors, and builders, means we connect with the most appropriate professionals to get your project off the ground, as well as find the finishes that are most appropriate to your budget and look outstanding.
What our clients say
Excellent, responsive service! While I knew the design I wanted for my renovation, Yelena was able to clearly respond to my ideas and turn them into designs. She was able to explain to me when my ideas were not possible. She also had some creative suggestions of her own and have been happy working with her. Stuck to her committed timeframes and was able to refer me to a great Town Planner who helped me lodge a DA!

I enjoyed working with Yelena on our project. She provided very practical design options, facilitated the entire DA submission process seamlessly including meetings with Council. She also has strong industry contacts with town planners etc which can make a big difference ... Absolutely recommended for any renovation/home building architecture.

Yelena was a pleasure to work with. She handled everything from A to Z and my partner and I did not have to worry. She was extremely quick and was always available to answer questions or handle anything that came up within the project. He work was impeccable and we are very happy with the way our home looks
We couldn’t have found someone easier to work with.- KRISTEN
