Join us for breakfast and a private tour of Eglon House, inspired by Pierre Chareau’s iconic Maison de Verre in Paris.
Tucked away at the end of a cobbled mews in Primrose Hill, this home is anything but small: 13,000 sq ft of beautifully crafted live/work accommodation. The original Maison de Verre (1928-32) has been described as an elaborate piece of furniture, reflecting Chareau’s expertise as a product designer, and this craftsman’s sensibility has carried through to Eglon House.
The tour will be introduced by architectural historian Alan Powers and will include a viewing of Michael Carapetian’s 1960s photographs of the Maison de Verre and Eglon House.
