This is the rethink of an apartment buried in the height of Shakespeare Tower on the Barbican Estate. Having spent many years overseas, the owner clients yearned for a design that was inspired by their time in Japan and Scandinavia, and a home that could happily accommodate the Danish furniture, Japanese lamps, Swedish paintings, and Korean pots that they had acquired along the way. Their architect embraced this fully, and the result is a project where traditional Japanese architectural language, customs, and culture comfortably meet Brutalist Modernism.
