The Shop by Gantri is a hybrid space in San Francisco created within a former 1920s autobody shop. The project combines a retail showroom with a working studio and a communal area, forming a single interior that supports display, production, and public use. The layout is arranged as a sequence of zones extending from the street-facing entrance to the rear workspace.

The front section operates as a gallery where lighting products are presented within an open environment. A central area functions as a social space for meetings, events, and informal interaction. The rear zone is used as a studio where prototyping and development take place. The building retains elements of its industrial structure, with the new layout inserted within the existing shell. The space accommodates both visitors and staff, with circulation moving through each zone in a continuous path from entry to workspace.
