“Its meticulous original plan takes centre stage"

There are an unusually high number of well-preserved original details in this large, one-bedroom Barbican apartment. One of three 'Type 32' apartments in Mountjoy House, its fourth-floor position affords west-facing views of the sunset over the City from its extensive glazing.

History

Between 1954 and 1968, Peter Chamberlin, Geoffry Powell and Christoph Bon drew up four distinct schemes for the Barbican that they continued to modify even after the build started in 1965. Their intention was to create a residential precinct which would, as they wrote in the 1959 Barbican Redevelopment Plan, allow people to live “both conveniently and with pleasure”. Their mission would include a quiet pedestrian space which would be “uninterrupted by road traffic”, where people would be able to “move about freely enjoying constantly changing perspectives of terraces, lawns, trees and flowers” and see “the new buildings reflected in the ornamental lake.”
