The PAS Skate House
It is a home where no one will ever be chastised for riding around on their skateboard. In fact, grinding, kick flips, and ollies will be highly encouraged. It was designed by skateboarder and designer Gil Lebon Delapointe and LA based architect Francois Perrin to be a continuous ribbon of skateable surfaces – essentially, a skate park turned into a home. In theory, Senizergues will be able to open up the home and skate from the outside to the inside and through the three sections of the home. The first area includes the living room, dining area and kitchen, the second one includes a bedroom and bathroom and the third one has a skateboard practice area. Even the furniture will be skateable, whether it be built-in benches and tables or freestanding objects. Natural ventilation will help keep the space cool, and orientation and integration into the specific site will minimize the home’s impact and maximize the use of the sun. They also plan to make use of local materials as well as solar and wind power. It will definitely be the raddest home design in California.
