![]() NEXT SHOP TOUR DETAIL |
||||
NOTE – our November shop tour is NOT on the usual third Saturday of the month.
Design Workshops is one of the oldest Architectural Millwork shops in the Bay Area, in operation since 1946. They are hired by General Contractors to work in conjunction with Architects and Interior Design firms to assist in the design development, manufacture, finish, delivery and installation of woodwork and related finishes of high rise interiors for corporate firms in downtown San Francisco. Acting as a job shop, the bulk of their work uses similar building themes but every project is unique. They have done an impressive list of projects, including Davies Symphony Hall, Oracle Headquarters and the DeYoung Museum.
Sorry, no pets or minor children due to liability issues. Google Map: Design Workshops ================================== |
