Salvaged Car House
Architects Karl Wanaselja and his wife Kate Leger built this home using salvaged car parts from the junk yard. The upper siding was cut from the roofs of over 100 grey automobiles. The lower walls are clad in poplar bark which is a waste product from a furniture company in North Carolina. The glass awnings are actually side windows from Dodge Caravans. The 2 bedroom house is 1140 square feet and is located in Berkley, California.
