Timeless Canyon Road

This exquisitely transformed Santa Fe gallery, OTA Contemporary, was designed to accentuate and showcase art forms at their best, seamlessly transitioning between interior and exterior space. Situated in the heart of Santa Fe, at the foot of famed Canyon Road, the structure commands 3,000 sq. ft. of open free flowing space, creating a fluidity not previously experienced. Completely restored from an existing wood frame Spanish-Pueblo-Revival-style gallery to one of glass, stucco and concrete, the palette delivers a clean modern design, surrounded by historic adobes.

Owner/artist, Kiyomi Baird’s vision was to create a space for art to be seen, and appreciated, in addition to playing host to a venue dedicated to both art performance and conversation. While not an historic building, it meets every criterion of the historic district’s building guidelines. At the same time, it conveys contemporary architecture in the Santa Fe vernacular.

TESTIMONIAL
We have had the pleasure of working with Prull Custom Builders for the last 25+ years. Over that time we have found them to be excited about new ideas, interested in helping to solve how to create modern architecture in the Santa Fe environment and committed to creating quality work. They are thoughtful, honest, and transparent in their dealings with our clients. They have tackled projects large and small but always with the same focus to produce homes that will stand the test of time. We have enjoyed their professionalism and straight forward manner in approaching any issue that crops up. Just saying ‘thank you’ Will and Jodi as well as to the rest of the crew does not seem to be enough for all their contributions.
