All About

Check out three of the most unusual houses in the country, beginning in LaJolla, Calif., with an ocean-themed modern house that towers over a street of modest beach bungalows. Next it's on San Francisco to check out a home on steep hillside that's totally earthquake proof. Architect Jim Orjala came up with the idea of basing the design on the super-strong structure of a pyramid. The result is a house with very few straight walls! Finally, see how a world-famous artist hides behind a jungle on a street of manicured front lawns in West Palm Beach, Fla. This exotic mansion is as wild and untamed inside as it is on the outside.
