We are more than proud to share with you the skate landscape at the Nike EHQ campus. The Nike Homecourt is a renovated city square that connects the offices and sports activities on the Nike Campus. In addition, the Nike skate area is freely accessible daily.
It is called a skate landscape because of its combination between traditional architecture and skateboard architecture. The skate landscape is intended as a public space that incorporates varius skate-able elements. This makes it feel more like a skate spot rather than the traditional skatepark. All skate-able elements are based on shapes and object that have shaped skateboarding over the past decades, with the Aalto wave as its centerpiece.
The area is characterized by its authentic and inviting appearance, designed to stimulate skateboarders’ creativity. This new hybrid area is built to be inviting to all audiences and a forward-thinking approach to public spaces, which hopefully will lead to many more similar areas.
