Great news for skateboarders! They can finally bring their practice into their homes – the PAS House is the first house designed to be entirely used for skateboarding. The Skateboard House is originally a project of a private residence to be built in Malibu, California. What makes it so special is that you can skate to any point in the house. The whole surface is specially designed for skating including outdoor areas. Pierre Andre Senizergues (PAS), who is a former world champion and pro skater, came up with this project. A prototype of the PAS House was recently presented in the La GaiteLyrique museum in Paris. It is divided into three separate spaces. The first one includes the living room, dining area and kitchen, the second one includes a bedroom and bathroom, and the third one a skateboard practice area. The ground, ceiling and the walls are ‘skateable’ as they all form a tube of a 10-foot radius. The furniture is also skateable, whether it is integrated in the curve like the sitting area, the kitchen or the bathroom or just a standing object like the dining table, the kitchen island or the bed.

Television legend Dick Clark owns a unique property in Malibu. It is a one-of-akind residence which is worth $3.5 million. If you have watched The Flintstones, then you will definitely recall this building. The one-story structure with its rocky interior looks just like the home of Fred and Wilma from the classic 1960s cartoon. We can actually say it is a real life version of the Flintstones’ home with one bedroom and two bathrooms, a fireplace and several large glass windows. The great thing about it is that it offers views of city lights and sunsets as well as the Serrano Valley, the Boney Mountains, the Channel Islands and the Pacific Ocean. The whole property sits on more than 22 acres and is waiting for a new owner as Dick Clark is selling it.

There is no limit to people’s imagination. Architects at the Japanese Studio LEVEL have created a great piece of art proving this. Its name is the Slide House. They have designed an exceptional three-storey family house equipped with a slide which connects all three floors. This fun house is wrapped with staircases and a corridor on one side and a slide on the other. They all form a circular route around the central area of the house. It is 1,762 square feet and located in Meguro-ku.
