We hear it often:
"All houses are the same.They look mass-produced."
We want something of our own.
We design each home around the people who live in it.
We study how you live in your home, what you need from it and what possibilities the existing space offers. With that we design homes with their own character, made for the people who live in them.
We see it every day:
"What if we didn't buildeverything from scratch?"
Transforming is also caring.
We love renovations
because there's so much to discover.
In a world that keeps producing more, we choose to transform what already exists: what has memory, history and something to say.
Not everything has to start from zero to become something better. A renovation starts from what's already there: its structure, its walls and its possibilities.
We go in, observe and decide what deserves to stay, what needs to change and how to give it new life without erasing what makes it unique.

Hi,
I'm Belén.
For more than ten years I've designed and transformed homes. Along the way I founded and scaled a tech start-up, raising over €400,000 in funding — a chapter that taught me as much about business as about architecture.
I came back with a clear idea: most renovation mistakes don't happen on site, but before, when buying without analysing a home's potential or making each decision in isolation. That's how Berila.Studio was born, a studio specialising in residential architecture whose mission is to first understand how a home is lived in and then decide how to transform it.
