If you can get around the fact that the Slider of Joy by Aboday sounds like some sort of illicit sexual position, this two story poured concrete helical slide is the stuff of dreams. It was created for the 2010 Emerging Architecture Awards, where it received “Highly Commended” honors. Poured in place during renovations of the home, this awesome slide is equal parts manly, functional, and whimsical. For every man who wants the solid, foreboding look of concrete, but who secretly wants to slide around his man cave like a five year old, this amazing design piece starts in a second floor hallway…purposely placed this way so you can take a full run at it.
The slide curves around the side of the house and deposits you neatly in front of the dining table, which is pretty handy considering food is one of those things you want unrestricted access to.
Author, Designer, and "that girl your mother warned you about." Looking good seems to be my job, whether it's working with the site design, or a number of other more interesting capacities. I have a ridiculous sense of humour and a brutal sense of honesty- you'll see a lot of that coming through in my writing, so don't say I didn't warn you if I somehow manage to offend you AND hurt your feelings at the same time. On the plus side, it makes my dating and advice columns a lot more pertinent to an unfinished man in the real world.
