Cromwell Tower, The Barbican
London, United Kingdom
Project Featured on Mar 15, 2016
Completed on behalf of the Director Laurence Quinn and his family, Quinn Architects' interior project is a personal study of living on the Barbican estate, known as one of London's best examples of concrete Brutalist architecture.
A great respect and affection for the Barbican detailing and the experience and research conducted over 12 years of living in the Grade 2 listed estate were the catalysts for the reconstruction of the historic flat. Occupying an 11th floor location with beautiful South West views over London, the forty three year old interior had become tired and the occupants required a set of spaces and precisely organised storage that would respond to ever changing family needs. A focus on clear practical and flexible living were, therefore key to this design.
The scheme attempts to show a thoughtfulness and direction of how these important interiors can be updated and modernised while still respecting the original architectural character and atmosphere. These new spaces sit happily along side original interiors through a shared knowledge and a close attention to detail. This is a modern interpretation of a radical language with intense study of the details in a practical, modest and respectful sense.
