SOZO Studio
Project Description
Located in the heart of San Francisco, SOZO Studio is a thoughtfully designed single-floor event space spanning 140' x 100'. The layout prioritizes seamless flow and functionality, offering an immersive experience that engages every visitor.
With 3 large gallery spaces, a luxurious lounge, an enclosed sunken garden, and amenities like a coffee bar, gift shop, and huddle rooms, SOZO Studio caters to both creativity and comfort. Carefully curated finishes for ceilings, floors, and walls create a cohesive ambiance that enhances the space’s transformative essence.
Design Concept
Rooted in Japanese design principles and inspired by the intrinsic bond between humanity and nature, SOZO Studio lives up to its name, which translates to "creation" or "imagination." This creative sanctuary celebrates the art of making, offering a harmonious blend of vibrant gallery spaces, pottery and art studios, serene lounges, and interactive workshops. The enclosed meditation garden serves as a tranquil retreat for reflection and inspiration, uniting imagination with innovation.
At SOZO Studio, art becomes more than an expression—it is a journey of discovery, fostering self-expression and meaningful community connections.
