Elen joined Payette in 2013. At Wentworth Institute of Technology, Elen earned her M.Arch. and received a Design Excellence Award. While at Wentworth, Elen produced a thesis on the topic of Exploring Architecture as a Narrative. In her free time Elen dances with the Sayat Nova Dance Company, explores photography of spatial interactions and seeks out visually stimulating images and concepts.
We’re honored to receive five 2025 Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Awards, recognizing the nation’s best new buildings.
These five selected projects are diverse, yet each can be clearly understood through its model. A closer look at the models that best capture the essence of their architecture:
1. University of Hartford Francis X. and Nancy Hursey Center
2. The Ragon Institute of Mass General Brigham, MIT, and Harvard
3. Land`s Sake Farm Stand
4. Northeastern University EXP
5. MA Veterans Home at Chelsea Community Living Center
