The Builder Home Base
The House isn't a coworking space. It's a builder hub.
Inside a red-brick building at the edge of the Presidio, The House by Edge & Node has quietly become the SF gathering point for the people building AI, blockchain, frontier tech, and whatever comes next. You'll be a member for the summer.

Builder-first by design
12K sq ft of bright, modular space inside Building 103 — built for AI, blockchain, and frontier teams who actually ship.
250+ vetted builders
Applied AI Hackathons, demo nights, founder talks, happy hours — the kind of rooms that turn into companies.
A real event calendar
ETHSF, Applied AI Hackathons, demo nights, founder talks, art × web3 evenings — the kind of rooms that turn into companies.
The Presidio outside the door
Eucalyptus trails, the Golden Gate at the end of the block, and a 30-minute walk to your housing on Jackson St.
Partnership
TekTrek brings the talent. The House opens the door.
TekTrek is bringing some of the most ambitious technical students on the East Coast to San Francisco. The House is where the SF builder ecosystem actually hangs out. Putting them in the same room is the whole point.

Gatherings, demos, and end-of-summer showcases. Your pitch night, your stage.
For the network
Drop into demo nights, hackathons, and evening events. Run into the people building the things you've been reading about on X.
For the soul
A 30-minute walk through the Presidio from your housing on Jackson St. The kind of commute that makes you want to come in early.
For the summer
Preferred-partner rates for cohort gatherings, demos, and end-of-summer showcases. Your pitch night, your stage.

Where you'll be
The five blocks that make up your summer.
From your front door on Jackson to The House at Building 103 — here's the strip of San Francisco you'll actually live in.
Marina
Sailboats, sun, and post-grads who lift. The flat walking spine between The House and the rest of the city.
- Causwells burger night
- Equator on Chestnut
- Marina Green sunset
- A16 for a real Friday
Pacific Heights
Where you actually live. Victorian blocks, neighborhood bakeries, and the best stair-climb views in SF.
- Lyon Street Steps
- B. Patisserie kouign-amann
- Spruce for a fancy dinner
- Alta Plaza dog hour
Inner Richmond
The Sunday afternoon side of the city. Dim sum, secondhand bookshops, and the Pacific at the end of the street.
- Good Mong Kok dumplings
- Green Apple Books
- Burma Superstar wait
- Lands End Trail
Jackson Street
Your block. Quiet, leafy, and 30 minutes' walk to The House through the Presidio — a commute you'll miss.
- Jane on Fillmore
- Roam Artisan Burgers
- Walk down to Crissy
- Sunday Fillmore Jazz
The summer hit list
Twelve things you have to do before August.
Golden Gate Bridge
Walk it once at sunset. Bike it once at sunrise. Both required.
Crissy Field
Run, picnic, watch kitesurfers eat it on the bay. Five minutes from The House.
Tunnel Tops
The Presidio's newest park. Bridge views + bonfire pits. Best Friday night plan.
Palace of Fine Arts
Roman dome, swans on the lagoon, the prettiest 20-minute walk in the city.
Clement Street
Dim sum, dollar dumplings, and the bookstore you'll lose an afternoon in.
Dolores Park
Saturday social headquarters. Bring fruit from Bi-Rite, leave with friends.
Ocean Beach
Cold, big, perfect. Bonfires after sunset. Bring more layers than you think.
Ferry Building
Saturday farmers market. Acme bread, Cowgirl cheese, oysters at Hog Island.
North Beach + Chinatown
Espresso at Caffe Trieste, City Lights for a paperback, hand-pulled noodles after.
Mission burritos
La Taqueria carnitas, no rice. This is the answer. (El Farolito after midnight.)
Giants game
$15 view-level seat at Oracle Park. Garlic fries. Bay behind the right field wall.
Cable cars
Touristy, yes. Worth it once. Powell–Hyde line at dusk, hang off the side.
Weekend trips
When you need to leave the city
Stinson Beach
45 min · Drive Highway 1 with the windows down.
Point Reyes
75 min · Oysters at Tomales Bay, lighthouse hike, foggy.
Big Sur
3 hr · Do it once. Sleep in the car. Worth it.
Tahoe
3.5 hr · Borrow a SUV, hit Sand Harbor, swim in July.
The perfect Saturday
A day in San Francisco that ruins you for other cities.
Steal this verbatim. Adjust the burrito count to taste.
- 017:30
Run Crissy Field
Down through the Presidio, out to the bridge, back along the bay. Five miles, all flat.
- 029:00
Coffee at Jane on Fillmore
Oat latte, Morning Bun, sit at the window. Watch Pacific Heights wake up.
- 0310:30
Ferry Building farmers market
Acme bread + Cowgirl cheese for later. A dozen oysters at Hog Island while you're there.
- 0413:00
Dolores Park hang
Pick up a Bi-Rite sandwich. Sit on the upper terrace. The view sells itself.

La Taqueria detour
Carnitas burrito, no rice, dorado. Cash. Bring it back to the park if there's room.
- 0618:30
Tunnel Tops sunset
Walk back through the Presidio. Bring a layer. The fog rolls in fast at the bridge.
- 0720:00
Dinner in North Beach
Tony's slice + a martini at 15 Romolo. Or Sotto Mare for cioppino if it's a celebration.
- 0822:30
Late night
Mister Jiu's bar for last drinks, or the Page in lower Haight. Walk it off home up the hill.
- 0900:30
El Farolito
If anyone's still standing. Super burrito. The correct ending.
