Known to Bay Area residents as "Fish House" (although its design was actually based on the hardy tardigrade), this 2,000-square-foot home in West Berkeley gets its official name from the massive eye-like window on its south side. Finished in 1995 for only $250,000, this house is built to last: Its walls are made of recycled Styrofoam and cement, which — coupled with its design — make it all but impervious to water, fire, termites, and even earthquakes.
