This turnkey London apartment, located in the iconic brutalist Barbican Estate, serves as a second home for its owners, providing a welcoming and textured retreat for work trips and family visits. The space by Otta Design is filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a soothing atmosphere. A rich layering of textures, soft furnishings, and bold mid-century silhouettes enhances the interior. Original teak wardrobes were retained, while a bespoke extendable dining table and banquette were commissioned. Thoughtfully curated elements bring warmth and character, making it a stylish yet comfortable urban sanctuary.
