Gateway Gallery / February 7, 2023 by Mark Silva

A new personal project. Most architects design their own house, or office. I’ve never been able to do that, just never felt right.

Apparently instead of that, I’ve chosen to develop a commercial property in my small town in the desert, Ocotillo, CA, USA. The plan is to do something to benefit this community, which I love.

I’ve purchased a commercial parcel in the center of town, and plan to convert it to a boutique art gallery and art studio space, focused on local artists and this beautiful desert. I’ve discovered there are so many creative people in this amazing valley.

The existing structure on the site is a shit show. Its been terribly neglected for very many years. The grounds are the same. It will be alot of work to turn this around. Major cleanup project.

However, the bones are good. The history is good. The vibe is good. The last use of the property was a ceramic art studio, by a talented artist. I personally have a couple of her pieces in my home.

Stay tuned to watch the transformation of this very sad property, to a joyful new beginning for a community.
