House of Air, started in 2010 by two young entrepreneurs interested in the action sports world, is a trampoline facility which caters to the discriminating taste of the young, energetic and affluent population of active San Francisco. This breathtaking site is at the foot of the Golden Gate Bridge, with expansive views of San Francisco Bay that become even more apparent when the 45’ wide hanger door is opened. Inside the historic biplane hanger, a large field trampoline for bouncing sits along side a trampoline dodge ball court and three performance trampolines used for both competitive jumping as well as ski/snowboard/wakeboard training. Flanking the trampoline area are two pavilions housing a café, meeting facilities, lockers, and a lounge. Translucent blue walls lit from within are graphic interpretations of the vertical motion taking place throughout the facility.
