Look inside a radical creative’s offbeat self-build in north-west London
THE MAN INSIDE THE HOUSE THAT MAKES PEOPLE SMILE
Never one to conform to expectations, when photographer, filmmaker and producer Mark Lebon was looking for a house in the mid-1980s, he bought himself a parking lot instead. In the intervening decades, he’s conjured an extraordinary hand-hewn home and studio for himself, where fluttering flags, spinning cupboards and a rooftop veg garden join work by dear friends and collaborators - a place that, as Mark explains in our latest poetic (and occasionally profane) film, never fails bring joy to those walking by.

which street? I want to walk past and smile, too
Unique, personal, thoughtful, a sanctuary, precious. Would be honoured to be a guest in this home.
"..that that pain is optional. You know, if you make that your friend rather than your enemy, it's a place of uncertainty being a place of endless possibilities"
This shows spirit of creativity and individuality that defines this truly offbeat and remarkable abode. ❤❤
I live for learning of people like this. His home is so totally him and it made me smile too :)
A very cool and in demand photog in the 80's and 90's
Pain is optional...a place to find endless possibility
i like it!
His pain is not being able to find something in an archive? Maybe he was merely using an example and I get the Buddhist thing and all but wow I could do with that kind of pain
