The Barbican Apartment
( 2024 )

A four bedroom apartment in Lauderdale Tower — held by one family for nearly thirty years, and home to our client for a decade — transformed into a cocooning retreat for a busy professional. The Barbican is one of London's great architectural monuments. The brief: be sensitive to it, celebrate it, but make it hers.

Details

Our client felt intimidated by how to live in a piece of architectural history. We opened the galley kitchen to the living room, designed a bespoke kitchen in sapele wood that honours the building's mahogany detailing, and built a colour story throughout — red and butter yellow in the living room, plaster pink in the bedroom, olive green in the study — to help her decompress from a demanding career a short walk from the City. The apartment now pays homage to the building and delivers for her life.

After admiring this London icon for so long, Andrew has made his own valuable contribution to it, embodying its modernist values through the best of contemporary British design. But more than that, he has helped one of its residents make the most of her home high above the city.
