Berkeley House Made from Used Car Parts

[ptradmin]

We've seen our share of strange houses, but a couple of Berkeley architects took a decisively unique approach to a home in their local area, building an 1140 sq. ft. home from as many used car parts as they could get their hands on. We're talking painted sheet metal siding, windows and skylights & windows from Dodge Minivans, and car roofs. They went after a fish scale look by putting together a blend of parts made from different gray shades picked up from a variety of cars harvested from local junk yards. He and his partner used over 100 car roofs, laying them out according to color to make up the second-story "siding". They also utilized other reclaimed materials such as poplar bark and even salvaged redwood.
