  • Dick Clark House by Phillip Jon Brown
    Superstar host Dick Clark's rockin' home looks like something you might see on an episode of the Flintstones or in a <a href="http://inhabitat.com/extraordinary-off-grid-hobbit-home-in-wales-only-cost-3000-to-build/">hobbit town</a> but it's actually right in California. Recently listed for $3.5 million over on real estate company <a href="http://www.maliburomanticretreat.com/">Coldwell Banker's website</a>, the one-bedroom house is situated on a 23-acre site adjacent to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, which was deeply opposed to development. But architect <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Phillip-Jon-Brown/162618773757173">Phillip Jon Brown</a> told <em><a href="http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/index.html">CNN Money</a></em> that by creating a site-sensitive building that looks like a rock formation, they were able to alleviate the park's concerns.
