The Ramp House: Athens’ Skateable Habitat

One of Athen’s Greece based architectural firm Archivirus Architecture clients requested a “skatetable habitat,” according to a story on Arplustest.com.

According to architect Athanasia Psaraki, the Ramp House is a project which tries to reconsider and redefine the living space. The result of the client’s request is a curved form interior, which “set the whole house as well as the inhabitant’s life, into motion”. . . .It is intended to be a ‘ramp house’ and not a ‘house with a ramp’. Straight lines are curved and the flat surface becomes a ramp or a bowl. Basic house elements such as the fireplace and storage units are hidden inside the ramp forms.

Okay. Next time we’re in Athens we’re finding this place.
