This is a service we provide to our property owners. Like a real estate 3D walk-thru, you can click and move about, and view all the equipment/systems below the floor, and this 3D model will exist into the future of the building as a record.
In a couple places you can even go under the floor.
We will do another one when the walls and roof go up for everything in the walls and ceilings, before the finishes go on. So it’s all documented.
Finally out of the ground. Framing has begun.
Extremely comforted and humbled by the community reception of my crazy idea of an art gallery in Ocotillo. It means the world to me, thank you Ocotillo, and the Imperial Valley at large. ❤️
January 14, 2024. The Grand Opening - A great time had by all that attended. Expected 100 peeps, instead had more like 300.
Live music, great food, wine & craft beer, to go along with the amazing artists showing in our first group show, by my amazing Gallery Director Leah Blair. Thank you Leah!
My excellent music director Caedon Howell provided 7 hours of continuous live mucic by 4 different acts, all fantastic and well received.
Delicious food and desserts provided by Lamont Street Grill Catering and Kris Silva.
Fresh brewed craft beer specially brewed for the event - Gateway Honey Ale by Ocotillo Brewing Company. Thank you guys!
Wine provided by Calianna winery, from my Z House + Winery project completed last year in Fallbrook, CA.
Ocotillo is an amazing community. As we started running out of supplies during the event due to the massive showing of support by so many people, community members stepped up immediately to help out and keep the party going. ❤️ I will be forever grateful.

These men and women are amazing, our unsung heroes.
Eight years later, with beautiful mature vegetation, she's still a well cared for beauty, Can Deus. Recent photos of what some have considered a masterpiece, soon to be enhanced, by me. A once in a lifetime opportunity. Stay tuned...
A very complicated new foundation system, dealing with the surprises of what was under the existing house. This builder is on it 100% MLA Contractors
This amazing but unbuilt project had an untimely tragic ending. These new incredible renderings are offered to the widow in an attempt to help her in any way they can. Thank you Razin Khan, you are a very honorable man. ❤️
Z House + Winery dinner party for the architect and builder. Owners love their house so much; “we COULD NOT be happier!”. A wonderfully meaningful gesture of “we did this!” A great experience for sure, thank you Z’s.
Amazing food and wine by the Z’s. Great family, feels so good to help their life.
More amazing landscaping still to go in, including 2 large green roofs at the guest house & large shop/wine building. Possibly in the spring it will be ready to be properly photographed.
Corona House in La Jolla officially has broken ground. Demolition underway for this beautiful ocean view home.
There will be a lot to demolish to accomplish this, below;
I know it’s been a long while since an update, July 17 being the last one. Had my hands & brain full with other projects AND the Gateway Gallery project, which has progressed so wonderfully. So happy with its progress, using almost exclusively local workers and suppliers which feels so good. An amazing crew for sure.
Now that the building itself is nearly ready, much more work is necessary to complete the rest of the “infrastructure”.
My hope is that this small facility can bring more beauty and pleasure to this already beautiful community of Ocotillo, CA.
That said, I’m now able to say that opening day will be January 14, 2024… my birthday. More information to come soon,.
