All About

Take a look at three of the most unusual houses in the country. First up is a look at a 1,300-square-foot Spanish-style bungalow in Los Angeles. But it's not just any bungalow. This one, built by architect Doug Teiger, has a second story with bright colors and unusual angles. Next it's off to Boston to meet a pair of married architects — Chaewon Kim and Beat Schenk — whose house is made entirely out of plywood that looks like three giant boxes stacked on top of each other. And in Washington, D.C., a couple inherits money and builds a million-dollar house designed by their favorite artist, complete with weird weather vanes sticking out of the top.
