The Edes destination is a harmonious blend of art, design, and culinary excellence, crafted to immerse visitors in a creative environment. Geometry, form, and organization define a clean, linear aesthetic that frames the El Toro Peak. Mass timber construction was selected for its natural beauty, biophilic benefits, and reduced carbon footprint. The interior embraces the mass timber and blends the warmth of the wood with an airy, modern design. Custom shelving and display units accommodate a myriad of art, including canvas and prints, jewelry, pottery and glass pieces. Custom rotating walls pivot and adjust the flow of gallery visitors to accommodate the art and create a flexible, unified space. The first-floor gallery leads to a wine bar with modern furniture, a functional seating area and a combination of displayed wine and art pieces. A dramatic staircase lights up like a lantern at night, pointing the way upstairs in an intriguing way. Flexibility and movement shape the experience. Cura’s layered displays adapt to evolving art, while Vera’s seasonal menu and local ingredients reflect culinary fluidity. Together, they invite exploration, discovery, and connection.
