Esperanza is clearly, personality wise, a warm half Spanish, half Dutch woman that was raised in the Netherlands. She combines in a harmonious way sentiment and common sense; this equilibrium is clearly expressed in the houses that she furnishes. People are impressed how she redesigns spaces with simple resources, a bit luxury but not overdone. She uses robust, natural shapes and a diversity of materials to adjust the different apartments and houses, these grant the context of atmosphere where people acknowledge themselves and it gives them the ‘being home’ feeling. She can change every object in a little living or working paradise, she can achieve a total makeover without consuming many hours or much new materials. In one glance she sees how and what needs to be changed to transfer a space from an empty mindless atmosphere into a living area where people feel themselves happy. EVERY house will be sold on short notice after implementation of her advice.
