Los Angeles-based Air Architecture is in the process of designing a home that would make any skater smile. The PAS House is being designed for skater and entrepreneur Pierre Andre Senizergues (PAS) and is a home that is meant to be skated.
The PAS House is divided into three different areas, each one featuring furniture that can be grinded on and walls that mimic the look and feel of half-pipes. The house is the first in the world to be designed specifically as a skateboarding park.
Living in a house that doubles as a skate park may not sound like such a good (or comfortable) idea, but Air Architecture has struck a nice balance here, making the house both skatebale and livable after the same time. As of now, the house is still under construction, but you can check out a few shots of it being skated by riders from Etnies here.
