Balance Patch
In collaboration with Merge Architects
Balance Patch is Boston’s first social video gaming cafe, combining pay to play gaming stations, a full service cafe, and event space for competition gaming. Located in the Allston neighborhood of Boston.
Formerly an abandoned recording studio, the existing space is stripped back to reveal the original waffle slab ceiling/roof structure, CMU walls, and concrete floor. This voluminous open concrete shell is stitched together with a series of strategically place pods
