Designed in the 1950s the Barbican Estate is one of the largest examples of the Brutalist style! When Azman Architects were asked to overhaul the flat, the client request for the design to be as close to the original fit-out as possible. To accomplish that goal the architects retained a lot of the apartment’s original fabric, including the bathroom and the doors.
