Who We Are

“Gathering matters more than ever; gathering in spaces that delight the senses and feel good to be in is essential for a community’s well being.”

~ Saba Rahimian, Principal

I’m Saba — artist, designer, restaurateur, wellness enthusiast and founder of Third Space Consulting.

For fifteen years, I’ve devoted myself to imagining and creating spaces that feel good — businesses that delight the senses, invite connection, and offer the kind of ease and belonging people are quietly hungry for every time they leave home.

After closing Joon Market, my latest restaurant in Sacramento, I spent three years getting clear on what I most wanted to give the world. The answer was simple — more of that. Not poured into one place, but shared across as many spaces as possible.

I draw inspiration from the three places I call home: Humboldt, Austin, and Lisbon. Each has its own culture, its own aesthetic, and its own strong relationship to gathering. What I look for in each place are the throughlines: what people are actually seeking when they step outside their front door. Rest. Beauty. Healing. A reason to linger. Sensory delights. Each other.

That’s what Third Space is built around — focus, structure, and design to help owners anchor their business as a Third Place, attuned to their communities needs and desires. It’s what I aim to bring to every project I touch.

I’d love to work with you. — Saba​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
