The LongHill HQ bowl at night, lit by a string of lights

The HQ · Brasília

The backyard where everything is made

A container house in the middle of the forest. A 400 m² bowl. The workshop beside it. Not a factory, not a store — a house.

01What

Where wood becomes object and where the crew gathers

In the middle of the forest, it is also where the sessions run through the night. It is the origin of every piece that leaves here — and the reason it costs what it costs.

02Why

Every skater grows up with the same dream: a park at home

Ours became concrete in 2019

400 m² in the backyard, built with the architect and bio-builder George Rotatori, followed closely, stage by stage.

Today the HQ also holds a quarter pipe in bio-construction — George's living, open laboratory, where the steel of reinforced concrete is replaced by paper.

In search of the perfect radius

04The story of the two e-mails

In 2007, the same question was sent to several skatepark builders: "flat ground, a 100 m² park — what does it cost?" Only one did not answer with a price: George Rotatori's.

In 2018, the same e-mail was sent again. And again, the only one who did not answer with a figure was George.

Instead of a quote, a teacher arrived: he taught every process, until it was possible to calculate and manage the whole build.

That is the spirit that lives here — and in every LongHill piece.

05The crew

A contest, a band, a session that runs through the night — and real people

06Sustainability

Reuse is not marketing. It is our origin.

LongHill was born from the discomfort of watching good wood become rubbish: offcuts and broken decks that still had a lot to say.

Every piece in the skate line gives new life to a material headed for the bin — and carries, in its layers and marks, the story of where it came from.

The story does not end with the deck. It only changes shape.

07What comes out of here

Now that you have seen where it comes from

Every piece was designed, machined, sanded, assembled and finished in this workshop — a few metres from the concrete in the photos above.
