Hello, I am Gabriela.

I create spaces worth caring for.
Beauty with meaning, shaped around your life.
When friends visited us in Spain, they never left when they planned to. Someone always ended up in the hammock. The fridge always ended up empty. That was not coincidence. That was design carrying a clear intention: welcome, this is your home for a while.
To become the creative professional I am today, I needed to live first. With no hotel for miles, I once slept in a police station in remote Northeast India — and woke up in an Oberoi suite the following week. Sitting in silence for weeks with nuns in Bhutan. Abandoning a sailing trip rounding Cape Horn — out of fear, and without regret. These experiences taught me how people live and love. How light falls differently in a mountain monastery than on a Mediterranean terrace. How a space can hold stillness, or wildness, or belonging — depending on nothing more than proportion, material, and intention. Along the way I learned the art of hosting: making a stage for other people. That principle never left me.

Being neurodivergent means I see before I have words. Where others walk into an empty room, I am already looking at layers of light, texture and depth. The same thing happens with people. I notice what is waiting to be said — the hesitation before someone names a colour, the wish behind the wish. So I tend to ask a lot of questions, to make sure I really understand you. And sometimes, in answering them, my clients understand themselves a little better too. A client once told me about a bathtub she had wanted for twenty years. Halfway through our inquiry, she stopped and realised it was never about bathing. It was about having one place that belonged, for a while, entirely to her. That is where a project actually begins.
For almost three decades, I have shaped spaces – private homes, hospitality projects and historic restorations – across Europe, India and California. After years working in an architectural practice, with further training in colour consultation and lighting design, I know what happens on building sites, with craftspeople and under pressure.
My architectural references run from John Lautner and Louis Kahn to Marcio Kogan, the warmth of Brazilian Modernism, the clarity of Mid-century architecture, the elegance of Art Deco. Design languages that age with grace.
Alongside that, years of studying how people and places affect each other: philosophy, neuroaesthetics, art, ancient wisdom, the building rituals different cultures have kept for centuries. It is not something I advertise. It is simply part of how I read a room.
Depth is not a method. It is the only direction that has ever interested me.
Beauty is not merely an aesthetic concept.
Beauty is what makes us feel joy. What makes us feel at home, connected, alive. And the beauty of a place grows from the relationship we develop with it.
We may only be beginning to understand why this matters. But we have always known that our surroundings affect how we live, connect and feel. Creating beauty is an act of love. That conviction shapes everything I do.
If this resonates with the way you think about your own space, I would love to hear about your project.
