LOS ALTOS, CA

Hyperspace

‘We are born with whirlwinds, forest fires, and comets inside us...connected by silver filaments of chance and circumstance.’ Inspired by this magic, an Italianate restaurant past its prime was transformed into a modern hangar where virtual life soars. With new foundations and framing, the space now hosts VR gaming, karaoke, a snack bar, and a putting green, becoming a vibrant oasis for after-school fun, summer breaks, and long afternoons of play, nestled near the birthplace of the tech industry."
