Comma House and More
Check out three of the most unusual homes in the country. First, we meet Jennifer Siegal, a hip Harvard-trained architect living in Venice Beach, Calif., who added 200 square feet to her 800-square-foot bungalow-style home by busting a hole out the back and slapping on a real tractor trailer. These rigs have original mahogany floors. Next, in Wilmette, Ill., a waitress/grocery store checker goes home to her 1920s-style pink house and paints everything not nailed down. And we mean everything! The last stop is in Reno, Nev., where neighbors were so horrified by one man's weird idea for a house design, that they all pretty much sold their own homes and moved out. They probably didn't see the cool, clear glass fireplace designed to make smoke swirl up the see-through chimney like a tornado. Some call it the Comma House because of the humongous punctuation-shaped rooftop.
