It takes a certain amount of courage and a unique personality to want to live amongst the tombstones of the dead, but a British man does just that. Richard Elliott commissioned architects Eldridge Smerin to integrate his home into the  Victorian Highgate cemetery, on the boarder of which his home resides. The kitchen, and main living space sits atop the house, with a retractable rooftop to allow closer access to the eerie surrounds. Much of the built in furniture in the living area is mirrored to reflect the outdoors, and the floor is covered in black granite in reference to tombstone materials.
