WE WERE NOT REALLY LOOKING TO MOVE FROM OUR CURRENT BUILDING BUT, AS TIM WAS WORKING AND INVESTING IN REAL ESTATE, WE LOOKED AT OAP AND FELL OVERBOARD FOR THIS ONE FLOOR PLAN WITH A LONG ENTRY GALLERY — PERFECT FOR ART. WE WENT ON CONTRACT THE NEXT DAY." — JAY SHINN NOVEMBER | PAGE 39 | 2013 JS/TH: We were introduced by a mutual friend over dinner. Later that night at Starbucks, we discovered the interest we both had for the artist Agnes Martin. A week later, we flew to Santa Fe to see an exhibition of Agnes Martin with Richard Tuttle at Site Santa Fe. Still blown away by her simple graphs and use of line and light. ON LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT. JS/TH: We were the second residents to move into One Arts Plaza. We were not really looking to move from our current building, but, as Tim was working and investing in real estate, we looked at OAP and fell overboard for this one floor plan with a long entry gallery — perfect for art. We went on contract the next day. Rodney Woods was great to work with on the interior design and really helped meld what we had with a mid-century modern influence. THREE BLOGS YOU TRAWL.
