Linear House, Highgate, North London and Chehel Sotoun in Isfahan, Iran.

Open House is London's largest architectural showcase. For one weekend in the year, 700 buildings of every conceivable type, shape and size open their doors to Londoners. This year we went to two places: a modern private house and a yurt!

Linear House is a modern house built on a sloping site. The building takes its reference from the classical architecture in its symmetry and proportion.
