Following the success of its debut location in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights, CANOPY designed its new Jackson Square space to meet the rising and evolving demand of the Bay Area's sophisticated professionals.

Thanks to the two founding members at the helm of its design, CANOPY Jackson Square delivers a serene environment in an elegant and spacious setting for an accomplished and diverse community. Amir Mortazavi and Yves Béhar drew their inspiration from the color tones and the architectural shapes of the neighboring cityscape, from the oxidized copper of the iconic Sentinel building across the road where the owner Francis Ford Coppola wrote and edited Apocalypse Now and the Godfather to the pink and peach tones of City Lights Bookstore which was a beat haunt for the likes of Kerouak and Ginsberg.

CANOPY Jackson Square offers 13,000 square feet of premium office space including a standout 1,500 square-foot outdoor terrace. Strong lines, natural light and geometric elements define the interior. The signature glass-enclosed private offices line one side, while a Jane café and open workspaces on the other create a triangular floor plan. In the center, a lounge area with a hybrid tree like bookshelf that serves as a canopy – an architectural tour-de-force – serves as both a visual privacy screen to the conference room and work areas, as well as a containment for the people within.
