We are a Spanish architecture and interior design studio, born in Madrid, which purpose is to create a fluent dialog between the built and its context.
Form comes as a simple response to the combination of the program and the utility of the construction. As creators of atmospheres, we stimulate sensibility with the selective combination of material, texture, light, and scent that envelops the space. An essential part of our design process is the active involvement of our clients, lending uniqueness and authenticity to each project.
Our language lives in the relationship between contemporary architectural design using new techniques of construction and technology for modern living, and references to timeless tradition and heritage.
Becerril Studio is led by Esteban Becerril Heredero and Esteban Becerril Pellón. Heredero´s thirty-five-year legacy combined with Pellón’s international professional experience in Europe, Asia, and America, have contributed to the expansion of the firm’s activities around the world.
Partnerships in the United States, Mexico, Colombia, France, and Morocco, have given way to projects globally in architecture and interior design. The diversity of our work ranges from residences, commercial centers, hotels, and resorts, to gyms and country club complexes.
