Bizarre: House overlooking a cemetery

Archive

Okay, not a lot of people out there would love to call this their home, but travel photographer Richard Elliott doesn't mind being in this rather quiet neighborhood! This enigmatic house, located in North London, overlooks a graveyard that is home to many famous names (Karl Marx, Christina Rossetti, George Eliot.. to name a few). Eldridge-Smerin Architects, who designed the house made sure that it made best use of the views and environment around the house. Check the images below:
