Extreme Homes

Zigzag, Gryphon, Nest (7x10)

Air date: Dec 06, 2012

This amazing assortment of homes from all over the world includes a South African residence complete with two human-size nests, a Californian home that blends into the landscape and a Japanese home that is left open to the street because it has no doors. There's a dwelling no bigger than a shed in Oregon, a Brazilian residence that also houses thousands of books, a tree house made from recycled materials in Texas and an Australian home inspired by a mythical creature called a gryphon. Country living and cutting edge design collide in France and a Mexican house zigzags down a hillside while a once-ruined English hunting lodge is perfect for parties and a residence in California features a human aquarium.
