We show that every separable Hilbertian JC*-triple can be decomposed into a countable family of Hilbertian operator spaces, each of which is representable as spaces of creation or annihilation operators. This is
used to give a classification, in the category of operator spaces, of Hilbert spaces which are the range of a contractive projection on a C*-algebra.
