FOG was approached by  Community Vision to shepherd the renovation; we worked closely with SF Village staff and the selected contractor, CoBuild, to optimize funding that was realized via grants from Community Vision as well as various nonprofit and community funding sources.

New finishes include carpet planks that morph subtly in shade from the open areas to the private rooms. The organic grays and rusts of the carpets are offset by a fine-grained walnut wallcovering that denotes the conference room volume. A punchy orange paint enlivens the doors, offset by ocean-blue accents on the office and columns.

Staff open offices and the director’s office front the park across beautiful Fulton Street. The dilapidated kitchenette has been converted to a mini-cafe where patrons can socialize. Via selective demolition of many interior partitions, the space now accommodates a flexible member-programs area that can accommodate dozens of participants in activities that vary from crafts to yoga to parties. Other offices were combined to allow for an 18-person conference room, where the dedicated board of directors can meet and plan for an even more exciting future for this wonderful organization.
