Cura Contemporary

"Downtown Morgan Hill’s latest attraction, the striking two-story Edes Building designed by KTGY, has a sculptural quality befitting of a venue that houses art gallery Cura Contemporary." Read more about our feature in the March/April 2025 issue of the LUXE Interiors + Design Magazine, "State of the Art"

Designed by KTGY to be a work of art itself, the Edes Building features architectural elements that work together to create a striking, sculpture-like exterior inspired by the local landscape of Morgan Hill.?The interior includes rotating walls that allow for flexible gallery spaces to be combined or separated for exhibitions, events and workshops. The end result is a welcoming environment for everyone who loves the arts and creative experiences. Video Credit: Mike Schwartz Photography

At Edes, KTGY’s design disciplines converge to create an inspiring space where visitors from both near and far can appreciate local art and exquisite wine. Recently featured by Architectural Record, the Edes building — a mass timber cultural gathering place located on Morgan Hill’s historic Main Street — reflects its surroundings through contemporary expression while honoring the area’s landscape, community and heritage. KTGY Principal Mark Oberholzer, along with KTGY Interior Design & Branded Environments Principal Gina Deary, and Associate Principal Stefanie Hajer, led our architecture, interior design and branded environments teams to develop a space that feels dynamic, authentic and inspiring.

Located at the southern end of California’s Silicon Valley, the city of Morgan Hill was incorporated in 1906 as a site for vineyards and stone-fruit agriculture. Today, it operates as an affluent outpost for the tech world—companies maintain satellite offices and research facilities within its bounds—while retaining significant agricultural character through its wineries and orchards, particularly in its eastern foothills. One thing missing from the town, though, was a formal exhibition space for the fine arts. The 6,800 square-foot Edes Building, completed in 2024 by multi-disciplinary firm KTGY introduces a dedicated cultural venue to Morgan Hill's historic main street. Though there’s no shortage of museums and galleries in the Bay Area, the two-story mass-timber structure distinguishes itself by focusing on the hyperlocal, featuring works by artists from the surrounding region and cultivating community through events and classes. It also combines aesthetic pleasure with the epicurean, bringing gallery spaces together with a restaurant on the ground floor and a flexible event area above. ?
