Highway in the Front Yard

Houses with highways running through their front yards are typically at the lower end of the real estate market, but houses where the highway is actually in the yard (and more specifically in the house) are now at the upper end, it seems. Nothing particular funny here (other than the ridiculously posed couple in the fourth pic), but I read about this Big Dig House somewhere else (the New Yorker?) and found this short slide show that has images of the impressive architectural project. It's built mostly from materials from the Boston "Big Dig" highway project, for one of the lead contractors on the project, and designed by Single Speed Design. Even though the living room (slide 4, again) looks more like the atrium/waiting room in an engineer's office than the place he watches "The Office," I like it, and I like the idea. Not exactly Falling Water or Monticello, but innovative and interesting.
