The space
Raw room.
Warm light.
A concrete-frame loft in the Mission with skylights, a mezzanine, a lighting truss and a full kitchen — built to be rearranged around whatever you are making.
Built to be rearranged
Concrete columns, exposed timber joists, red steel factory windows and a run of skylights down the spine of the building. A mezzanine wraps the main floor, giving you a second level of sightlines for a talk, a runway or a demonstration. The kitchen is a real kitchen, not a warming pantry.
It reads beautifully on camera and takes a crowd without ceremony.

Questions
Before you ask
How do I book Assembly SF?+
Start with the inquiry form. Every gathering is scoped through a conversation rather than an instant checkout, because pricing and suitability depend on date, duration, attendance, production and permitting requirements.
What does it cost to host here?+
Pricing is tailored to the date, duration, attendance and production requirements of each gathering. We will send a written proposal after we understand what you are planning.
What kinds of events does the space suit?+
Dinners, launches, talks, panels, workshops, exhibitions, brand activations, fashion and design events, photo and video productions, off-sites and community gatherings.
Can I bring my own caterer or bar service?+
Catering and beverage policies are being finalized. Tell us what you have in mind in your inquiry and we will confirm specifics directly.
Is the venue accessible?+
We are documenting the building's accessibility features and will publish verified details rather than assurances. Please raise any access requirements in your inquiry and we will answer honestly and specifically.
Can I tour the space?+
Yes. Submit an inquiry and we will arrange a walkthrough at 270 14th Street.
Can I propose a public program rather than book privately?+
Please do. Assembly SF is actively looking for talks, workshops, exhibitions and dinners to host as part of its own programming.
