Weird and Wonderful
Situated in the heart of San Francisco’s Tenderloin Neighborhood, INTERSTICE Architects partnered with the 826 Valencia nonprofit organization to create a space dedicated to supporting teachers as they inspire San Francisco Bay Area youth in developing their creativity through writing. The new 5,200-square-foot space serves as a stimulating workshop, a curious retail outlet, and the central administrative offices of this national nonprofit organization. With enormous support from the community, and heroic cooperation from professionals, contractors, and suppliers, 826 and its new Tenderloin Center will serve as an important catalyst for future creativity in this vibrant and historic neighborhood.
