Architecture - House On Swain's Lane


By London-based architects Eldridge Smerin

The four-story house replaces one designed by architect John Winter in the 1970’s and uses the footprint of the original building.

The house has two distinct facades: the side facing the cemetery is mostly glazed, while the street-facing elevation is fabricated from black granite, translucent glass and black steel panels.

The roof features a large rooflight; glass floor panels admit light to the lower floors.

















Powerfull architecture...I like..Do you?
