Open House Weekend, London
85 Swains Lane N6 6PJ
Perched high over North London’s Highgate Cemetery, 85 Swains line is an incongruous addition to the leafy surrounds of this corner of the city. Angular, glassy and built back in 2007, the award-winning house is spread over four expansive floors. Stirling Prize nominated architect Eldridge Smerin’s façade echoes the monumental masonry of the cemetery, whilst the exterior swathes of glass allow plenty of light to wash over the polished concrete interior.
