Hybrid Design is a project designed by Terry & Terry Architecture and is located in San Francisco, United States.

This project houses a growing graphic/product design office within an existing brick building located in the Jackson square historic district. The design required the removal of the existing interior structure while leaving the existing perimeter brick structure and the original part of the front facade intact. The new design is comprised of adding a second story structure above the original floor that opens out to a roof deck injecting elements of the outdoors into the core of the office and inserting a steel ribbon surround at the front facade to create a large bay window and entry shroud, forming a looking glass with the work place and the eventful street life. The original building was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake and fire. Set in the heart of the city?s red-light district a new brick structure was quickly erected to house a new bar/saloon. At a more recent date the building facade was altered and for many years housed a cafe and office space. The partitions and interior walls were peeled back to reveal the existing perimeter brick walls and serve as a backdrop for the main office area. The new addition above straddles the existing structure and provides an informal conference area that is adjacent to the kitchen and outdoor deck space for informal gatherings echoing a bit of the past.
