SAN FRANCISCO (April 16, 2024) – Ware Malcomb, an award-winning international design firm, today announced construction is complete on Hej!Workshop by Industrious, a premier flexible workspace in downtown San Francisco’s Mid-Market district. Ware Malcomb provided interior architecture and design services for the 45,000 square foot project, which occupies the top floor of Ingka Centres occupied by San Francisco’s first Ikea store at 945 Market Street.
Hej!Workshop by Industrious represents a collaboration between Industrious and Ingka Centres, experts in creating unique experiences and meeting places. Ingka Group, which owns IKEA stores and Ingka Centres, joined forces with Industrious to create Hej!Workshop, furnishing this collaborative space with IKEA furniture. Industrious is the world’s best flexible workplace company, with a global network spanning more than 200 flexible workspaces in more than 65 markets.

Ware Malcomb’s design accommodates up to 500 workers, designing 176 offices, including shared common spaces, individual glass-encased offices, larger suites, and a 60-person training room. Ingka provided a design palette of natural wood and pastel colors which complement the industrial-inspired Industrious palette to showcase the collection of partnered furniture throughout. Tenants can rent space monthly or on a longer-term lease and have access to a series of conference rooms, huddle rooms, phone rooms, full café/lounge spaces, two kitchens, and a series of all-inclusive amenities.
“Hej!Workshop by Industrious is one of the most prominent interiors projects in San Francisco over the past year and a major part of revitalization efforts in Mid-Market,” said Amber DeVine, Director, Interior Architecture & Design for Ware Malcomb. “It signifies confidence in the future of our downtown and provides a new space for startups and office-based workers offering multiple touch points and targeting an array of personas.”
