PAS House

What if a house had a skatepark built into it? Almost every surface would be skateable, appliances would be built into ramps, and the entire structure would be integrated into the site to create a fluid riding experience. This prototype is part of a larger residential design that envisions how skateboarding as a means of transportation as well as entertainment can alter the way in which a structure is conceived. It’s a rad idea that we’d like to check out for ourselves, but we’d probably be more likely to crash into the model than pull off any trick in there on a skateboard.
Mound, hearth, enclosure, roof, and column. The way we see it, Gottfried Semper and scholars already figured out what makes honest tectonic form. We're looking for the element that satisfies our primitive urge to value architecture that's good.
