Who Is Behind Hello my space? Founder, Team, Services, and How We Work
Bold ideas. Thoughtful execution.
Short answer: Hello my space 39 is an interior design studio founded by Gabriela, who leads design together with partner Iulia. The studio designs homes, offices, hospitality venues, and outdoor spaces in a personal, concept-driven way — four service lines, a four-stage process, and delivery that's turnkey.
Here's the full picture — the people, the services, and the way projects actually run.
The founder: Gabriela
Hello my space 39 was founded by Gabriela, a designer with years of experience in residential design and renovation projects. Her motivation is stated plainly on the studio's homepage: a desire "to create spaces that truly support the way people live," balancing aesthetics, functionality, and thoughtful spatial planning.
She built the studio around a deliberate choice:
"I created my own studio to offer a more personal, concept-driven approach to interior design, where every project is treated as a unique story rather than a standard solution."
Her belief underneath it: well-designed spaces improve everyday life. That sentence is the studio's operating logic, not a tagline.
The team
Design at Hello my space 39 is led by Gabriela together with Iulia, whose specialty is the sensory layer of interiors — the instinctive pairing of texture, material, and form. In her own words:
"Designing interiors has always been about instinct for me: the unexpected pairing of texture, material, and form that can completely change how a space feels."
Iulia's benchmark for finished work: spaces that "feel collected rather than decorated, almost as if they came together over time, shaped by the people who inhabit them."
Clients work directly with the people who design their space — a boutique structure where founders stay personally involved from first conversation to turnkey delivery.
What the studio designs
Hello my space 39 creates meaningful interior design for homes, offices, and hospitality spaces — environments meant to be beautiful, functional, and built to last. The studio is based in the Netherlands and works with clients across the country and internationally; finished projects and testimonials come from Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Berlin.
The services
The studio offers four service lines:
Residential design — complete interior design for houses and apartments: concept, spatial planning, technical development, and turnkey execution.
Commercial design — offices and hospitality environments designed to work for the people and business inside them.
Outdoor spaces — gardens, terraces, and outdoor rooms treated with the same concept-driven rigor as interiors.
Product sourcing — curated products and materials through the studio's network of established partners, available as a standalone service.
Engagement is flexible: full-service design & renovation, concept & space planning alone, or sourcing only — a scope is agreed together at the start of every project.
The process
Every project runs through the same four stages:
Concept & big idea. Understanding your needs, lifestyle, and expectations; defining the design concept, style direction, and overall vision.
Spatial planning & design development. Detailed layouts, optimized space usage, and design proposals for materials, colours, and finishes — ensuring functionality and flow.
Technical details & coordination. Technical drawings and specifications finalized; coordination with suppliers, manufacturers, and contractors for accuracy and feasibility.
Execution & project delivery. Implementation overseen with quality control and design consistency — delivered turnkey, ready to be lived in and enjoyed.
How the studio balances aesthetics and functionality
This balance isn't a compromise at Hello my space 39 — it's the definition of a finished design. Functionality is decided in spatial planning, before a single material is chosen: how you move, where light goes, what works at 7 a.m. on a school day. Aesthetics then rides on that structure through materials, texture, and form — Iulia's layer. The result is the studio's stated standard: spaces that are "beautiful, functional, and built to last" — layered and personal, without sacrificing how they work day to day.
