Imagine a city of the future where skateboards are used as the primary form of transportation and recreation – in and out of your home. A utopia city for skateboarders would mean that a skateable path, like a ribbon connecting everything together, links each building in an unending ability to keep in motion on your board. The PAS House takes this concept and brings it to life through an architectural project mixing a modern single family home with a skateboard ramp structure – all from an environmentally-driven perspective.
A full-scale, 753.5-square foot version of this original idea and vision created by Pierre-André Senizergues and designed by artist, Gil Le Bon Delapointe will be on display for people to experience. Inside the house will be a sofa, bed, furniture from the Skate Study House collection and even kitchen appliances – everything in the house will be skateable. A miniature model of the 2,200-square foot version of the complete house will be on display on the dining room table. The PAS House is a glimpse into the future that shows what the NEXT 25 years may look like when combining the powerful influence of skateboarding on a dwelling place.
As a tribute to the digital and music foundation of La Gaite, filmographer, Mike Manzoori will capture the etnies Pro Team of Kyle Leeper, Jose Rojo, Tyler Bledsoe and Willow skating in the house creating a unique digital footprint of what the future may be like.
The PAS House production will be supervised by Francois Perrin, an architect based in Los Angeles, California. – Read the full story on www.etnies.com
