Retail. Events. Fine Art Gallery.

A historic San Francisco building with deep creative roots, this former design studio and build-lab has been reimagined as an industrial-modern Innovation Studio.

Originally designed for hands-on creative work, the space carries authentic character and functionality—now perfectly suited for gatherings of 30 to 100 guests. It offers a distinctive alternative to traditional hotel venues, blending history, design, and innovation in one unforgettable setting.

Why Host at Focus?

A space designed by and for innovators

An open floorplan, raw textures, natural light, and integrated A/V honor the space’s creative roots—so every event feels real, not staged.

Ideal for 30–100 guests, the layout is intentionally designed for panels, workshops, launches, and investor events where flow and connection matter.

Located in the heart of San Francisco, just steps from Moscone Center and easily accessible from the East Bay, Peninsula, and across the city—with on-site parking for added convenience.
