You arrive through a low, sun-warmed gate and the park rearranges sense: hallways that flip your perspective, a village where gravity teases you, and a slow river that insists you float. Xenses is compact and deliberate—each setting is built to prod sight, balance and taste until familiar cues feel unfamiliar.
