It is an honor to announce The Atelier (
@TheAtelierSF), a 10,745 square foot community co-working and co-creation space in the heart of San Francisco for the curious, ambitious, and deeply passionate, opening early to mid December 2026.
I envision it as a home for people and teams pursuing work in technology, creative arts, research, everything in between, and endeavors we have yet to see; for laser-focused execution, childlike exploration, and creating from the heart; for the cross-pollination of people, experiences, knowledge, and ideas; for falling in love with the process and learning about it all together.
I have dreamed of creating a safe, beautiful, and vast environment for deep work and creative flow. The moment I stepped foot into this space on the top floor, with sunlight pouring through the loft's tall arched windows and pooling across its century-old wooden floors, I knew in my gut this was the one. I felt immense awe for its enduring beauty across decades, and for the care that has been put into it. The building itself has witnessed twelve decades of San Francisco history; designed by Albert Pissis, the architect of Hibernia Bank, it started as the home for the California Casket Company, survived the 1906 earthquake, and in the late 2010s, housed Y Combinator on one of its floors.
Walking through the loft gives me the same feeling of both vastness and smallness I feel when I am surrounded by redwoods; the space opens in all directions, with its black steel beams reaching far above, and its walls stretching further than you expect. It fills me with a deep gratitude for this world, for simply being alive, and for the gifts of awareness, agency, and creation itself. It is a blessing and joy to be able to bring The Atelier to life in such a space.
The Atelier's goal is to honor the ethos of San Francisco as the place for innovation, optimism, and living the future in the now, where anything is possible, and provide a new sacred space within it.
If this sounds like the place for you too, I would love to share this space with you, and encourage you to apply for our membership. More details can be found below.
