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.

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.
