Barbican Apartment

The project is a one-bedroom apartment in Thomas More House at the Barbican. When the client bought the flat it retained most of its original fabric including the bathroom and WC but the kitchen had been completely removed and replaced by one with no relationship in design to its predecessor.

Project Year: 2016

A stripy carpet has been fitted throughout the apartment. It has often been mistaken for a Missoni but was actually made by a British firm called Crucial Trading.

Down the hall

Since the original sliding doors separating the study area had been removed by the previous owner, we designed a new set to allow the space to be divided again and provide a spare room for guests.

Closed for business

The client was very keen to have the kitchen reinstated as close to the original as possible, so we designed it in that spirit: as a pod with white-and-stainless-steel cabinets. We also kept the cabinet detailing very much in line with the original.

Kitchen pod

The ‘kitchen pod’ is enclosed by a series of cherry panels and doors, which cover a cloaks cupboard and dining room cabinets. The splash-back tiles were chosen from a Domus range and brown sheet rubber has been installed on the floor.

We had the master bedroom fitted with a bespoke bed and bedside tables. A purpose-designed shelving unit acts as a headboard whilst also facilitating a dedicated dressing area.
