Case Study

pksl

Sunnyvale, CA

Calvera Partners capitalized on a unique opportunity to reimagine a Sunnyvale, California, property into a "retro-techno" residence in the epicenter of Silicon Valley. Backed by a creative vision, and inspired by some of today's most imaginative boutique hotels, Crestview Terrace was transformed into pksl (pronounced "pixel") apartments. Refining a building erected in 1960, the refreshing new design reflects a proximity to the birthplace of modern video gaming with a nostalgic design that echoes the wood grains and color schemes of the original Atari 2600 gaming console, as well as block-like elements of the game's pixelated characters.
