This remarkable one-bedroom apartment sits on the ground floor of Speed House, part of the celebrated Barbican Estate. A sought-after Type 20 apartment, it is a masterclass in mid-century modernist design that makes exceptional use of an understated, lateral footprint. Internal glazed partition screens, built-in high-quality joinery and full-height windows epitomise the architects’ measured approach to space and materiality, creating intimate spaces while preserving sightlines.
