Welcome to FOCUS studio – A passion project led by John Gasser, the Gasser Family Trust and Innovation Properties Group. Focus Innovation Studio on the surface is a shared work environment. However, as current FOCUS members and guests will tell you, it is fundamentally so much more than that. FOCUS is a private members studio, designed to generously spawn creativity and collaboration between Artists, Designers, Founders and Technologists. Private office space, private laboratory space, meeting rooms, startup incubators and so much more in one of the best locations in San Francisco

For spontaneous collaboration and interaction, open desks provide an open and flexible environment. If you prefer a dedicated space with shared community elements, dedicated desks offer a great balance between personal space and interaction.

Choosing the ideal coworking arrangement for you is about aligning your workspace with your work style, team dynamics, and project requirements.
