Texture and colour in the Barbican

Posted on Thu, 6 Feb 2025 by midcenturyjo

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.

We will occasionally share a home gym on the blog but usually just a photo amongst the house photos. Something utilitarian but never as inspiring as this private gym in Milan. From the wood-lined office and gym space to the stylish bathroom this gym is just a little bit more than rubber mats and sweat. By Studio Natalia Bianchi.
