Pretty sick Subway design. A cross between Tetris and Legos.
The carmelit is an uphill subway system in Haifa, Israel that opened in 1959. the system has 6 stations along its 1.8 km track that climbs mt. carmel. the stations look very much like a regular subway but are slopped on an angle with stairs to make moving up and down easier. The system transports around 2,000 people along the track each day and is among the most unusual subway stations in the world.

Recently created by Archivirus Architecture and Design, the Ramp House is a response to the client’s request for a “skateable habitat”.
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”.
The architect wanted the ‘skateboarding’ element to be more than simply putting a mini ramp in the living room. Rather, the ramp, the bowl and all the interpretations of those terms would actually become the building elements for this space. 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.
