Design Bay Area - “California Modern Reconsidered: The Future of Gathering Spaces”

Storefront Anand Sheth x York Street Collective reclaims a historic corner of the Mission District as a new kind of exhibition space: one that resists neutrality, resists spectacle, and insists on specificity. Designed and built by Studio Anand Sheth in under a month, the project transforms the former Lucca Ravioli Co. building into an inhabitable display of contemporary art, design, and cultural memory. It is both an architectural intervention and a curatorial gesture—staged in collaboration with York Street Collective and powered by Square and SF New Deal. Here, the lines between domestic space, showroom, studio, and gallery are purposefully blurred.
