826 Valencia is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages six to eighteen with their creative and expository writing skills and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. Prompted by the need to address structural upgrades, MH Architects oversaw the renovation of the single story retail storefront in San Francisco’s Mission District. In addition, Writing Center and retail store benefitted from a new roof with several skylights, accessibility upgrades, custom shelving, and cabinetry.
