The Berkeley Fish House
This photo is hot! Share it!
More appropriately known as the Tsui house, this house was supposedly based on the Tardigrade, a tiny aquatic arthropod, and is thought to be incredibly strong from an engineering standpoint.
The weirdest thing about this place though is that it is on a standard issue, unassuming Berkeley street. It is just bungalow after bungalow and then there is this awesomely weird place that looks like a house from the 80s cartoon The Snorks.

That's great! Since you have an eye for the strange, I have a challenge for YOU ;)
Can you find and photograph and tell us about the cave house? I saw it on TV once and can't find anything on it online now. An immigrant bought some infertile land, always dreamed of having an orange orchard, decided not to give up on his dream. The soil deep down was more fertile, so what he did is carved out an elaborate cave house. And planted his orange trees underground but letting the trees grow up through the "roof" of his cave. From the top it looks like a bunch of dwarf trees. I thought this was in California!?!
It’s like hide and seek …go get it, baby!
