VIIXVII (pron. vee-zha-vee) is a biannual, limited edition editorial devoted to the art of living in San Francisco and the wider Bay Area. Rooted in the city’s 7×7 geography, each substantial issue pairs contemplative storytelling with gallery-quality photography to explore creativity, place, and human connection.

The periodical centers on the people who shape the region’s cultural life through persistence, craft, and philosophy, alongside the spaces that give the Bay Area its texture, from neighborhood institutions and quiet architectural details to nearby landscapes that offer renewal and perspective.

In a city driven by speed and technological acceleration, VIIXVII provides a deliberate contrast, slowing the lens to honor what endures: the desire to build thoughtfully, to create with care, and to find meaning through work, community, and a deeply felt sense of place.
