Who is behind it
Hi, I'm Belén
I'm Belén Sola, architect and founder of Berila.Studio. I work from Almería on housing, renovation and interior design projects, combining architectural design with on-site experience and the coordination of professionals.
I want to understand how you live, what you need and what potential your home has before I start designing. That way we can make sensible decisions, anticipate difficulties and develop a solution tailored to you.
If you have a house in Almería or the province, or you're thinking of buying one to renovate, we can work out together the best starting point.
How we work
From the first idea to the finished build
Every project needs its own process. We explain the stages, the decisions to be made and the documentation needed to move forward clearly.
01
Feasibility and preliminary design
We analyse your needs, the property and the applicable regulations. We develop the first layout and volume proposals, with an initial cost estimate when the scope allows.
02
Technical project and licences
We produce the technical documentation the project needs and handle the relevant administrative procedures, depending on the type of work.
03
Materials and construction solutions
We select materials and finishes suited to Almería's climate and the coast, taking into account sun, salt air, maintenance and how the home is used.
04
Site management and follow-up
We follow the execution of the project through site visits, technical supervision and coordination, until the contracted works and the relevant final documentation are complete.
What we check first
Before designing, we check feasibility
Every municipality, area and home has its own conditions. Checking the regulations first avoids buying, designing or getting quotes for something that can't be built.
Planning regulations
What your municipality's planning allows: uses, heights, site coverage and extensions. On the coast, also the Natural Park and the Coastal Law.
Condition of the home
Structure, services, damp and what's already built, to know whether anything needs legalising or reinforcing.
Procedures and licences
Which licence or responsible declaration your works need and how it's processed at your town hall.
Before you start
Frequently asked questions about architecture and renovations in Almería
Question not here? Ask us on WhatsApp
How much does it cost to hire an architect in Almería?
An architect's fees depend on the type of project, the floor area, the technical complexity and the services hired. An interior renovation doesn't need the same as an extension or a new-build home. In a first call we define the scope and explain the next steps.
Do I need an architect to renovate my flat in Almería?
It depends on the works. If they affect the structure, façade or volume, or change the use, you need an architect's project to apply for the licence. For minor interior renovations a responsible declaration may be enough, although working with an architect from the start helps you know what can be done and what it might cost.
Do you work outside Almería city?
Yes. As well as Almería city, we work in Carboneras, Agua Amarga, Las Negras, San José, Mojácar, Roquetas de Mar, El Ejido and other towns across the province.
What's the difference between an architect and an interior designer?
An architect can draft and sign projects, process licences and manage works that affect the structure, façade or layout. Interior design focuses on the interior space: furniture, lighting, materials and joinery. At Berila.Studio you get both: Belén is a qualified architect with a master's degree in interior design.
Can an extension or an enclosed terrace be legalised in Almería?
In some cases there are ways to regularise, and in others there may be significant limitations. We need to analyse what has been built, its age, the planning status and the applicable regulations before determining the options.
Can I hire just the project and the licence?
Yes. You can hire only the stages you need, for example the project and the licence application, or a full service that also includes site management.
Can you coordinate the works if I don't live in Almería?
We can put together a site management and coordination service suited to your situation, with follow-up of the works, site visits and progress updates.
Where do I start if I want to renovate or build a house in Almería?
The first step is to tell us what home you have or what you want to do. In an initial 15-minute call we guide you through the first steps and the information worth gathering before deciding: plans, photos, land registry extract or cadastral record.
The next step
