hacker house / builder residency
a house for
builders with taste
vyv-house is a vibey hacker house where founders, researchers, designers, and internet weirdos live close to the work — building, testing, hosting, and cross-pollinating ideas in real time.
house signallive
part residency, part lab, part internet salon
We optimize for proximity: to work, to feedback, to energy, and to the kind of people who make your ideas sharper just by being in the room.
This is where products get unstuck, collaborations start naturally, and new rituals for AI-native building get tested in the open.

what is vyv-house
a creative bunker for people who build
live close to the work
A house where the line between conversation and execution is intentionally thin.
cross-pollination by default
Builders across product, code, design, research, and culture influence each other daily.
internet-native but human
Dark screens, whiteboards, long dinners, prototypes, and ambient obsession in one place.
house protocol
live close to the work
ship more than you explain
share context before you share opinions
prototype in public, refine in private
make the room smarter than the individual

the people make the house

life at the house
what actually happens here

Late-night shipping
Fast builds, tiny experiments, and messy prototypes that turn into real products by sunrise.
activity
Research jams
Papers, prompts, wild ideas, and rabbit holes turned into tangible insight together.
activity
Demo dinners
Founders, builders, and friends drop in, share progress, and pressure-test what is worth pushing further.
activity
Resident sprints
Focused weeks where everyone is building different things, but momentum leaks helpfully across the room.
