The Perfect Roof for Skateboarding Folks

I keep thinking, if you happen to be a skateboarder, this might be the roof for you. Don’t you think? This home, off the southeast coast of Tasmania, was designed by the very hip 1 + 2 Architecture. According to Dwell, this home’s roof is actually making use of solar panels – slanted to absorb the best of the sunshine. Rain water collection, small size, bath and kitchen waste reuse (in the garden), and native landscaping are some of this home’s green perks. Of course, it’s a beautiful home to boot.

Disclaimer: Offbeat Homes and blogger Jennifer; the entire b5media network in fact, does not actually endorse skateboarding off your roof. While super fly cool, plus impressive to friends, this could be dangerous and you’d be doing it at your own risk. On the flip side, if you do attempt silly stunts like this, Offbeat would love to see some pics.
