A NEW CHAPTER.

Designed by Barbican architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon, Blake Tower shares in the sculptural lines and raw concrete finishing that have made the Barbican an icon of mid-century architecture. Redrow London and Conran and Partners are breathing new life into this iconic estate. Grade II listed Blake Tower will house some of the first new homes to be built here for over 50 years - a collection of 74 sleek, contemporary studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments and penthouses that celebrate the Barbican’s ethos of design-led living. With Blake Tower's apartments will come a new residential population for the Square Mile's most unique development, and a new chapter for a neighbourhood as old as London itself. 6 REDROW LONDON The View

THE BLAKE TOWER LIFESTYLE.

The Barbican has long been home to artists, architects and the discerning City worker, thanks to its central location, transport links, and the fine schools, design houses and financial institutions that surround the estate. Perhaps even more important is the spirit of the Barbican - a sense of history and of innovation, of being deeply rooted in London but forever at its cutting edge. Blake Tower's apartments are the perfect embodiment of this spirit - mid-century style refined for the modern homeowner, crisp, design-led homes set amidst Grade II listed architecture. As a resident of Blake Tower you will enjoy all that the Barbican has to offer, from its world-class amenities and the wealth of art and culture held in its halls, to its unrivalled location in the very heart of London.

A MATCH MADE IN BRITAIN.

Boasting some of the City’s most recognisable architecture, Blake Tower needed interiors that could live up to their iconic setting. That’s why Redrow London chose to work with Conran and Partners. A benchmark for excellence in British architecture and interiors for over 30 years, Conran and Partners have a proven track record for reinventing prestigious London spaces. Their wealth of experience includes the fashionable Boundary Hotel in Shoreditch, the highly anticipated regeneration of and the former tyre HQ Michelin House, which is now home to The Conran Shop's flagship store. They’re raising the bar again with their work on the Barbican’s first new homes in decades.

Blake Tower was built to the same exacting standards as the rest of the Barbican. Its rebirth as a residential tower has created interiors that perfectly balance the architects' sense of detail with the light, space and finishing of a design-led contemporary home. Existing terrazzo, windows and bush hammered concrete walls have been integrated into self-assured new living spaces. Rooms have been reorientated to frame striking, structural views, and crisp finishing balances the strength of the tower's architecture. These are interiors that celebrate and refine their heritage - reimagining the Barbican for the discerning contemporary Londoner.

Discover custom-designed brass door levers and integrated brass joinery handles throughout.

Using terrazzo sourced from Italy, the hand-carved vanity basins feature a hand-finished curve derived from forms found within the Barbican.

Many apartments benefit from exposed original concrete walls, with a rope junction between the concrete and the timber flooring.

EVERY DETAIL PAINSTAKINGLY CRAFTED TO BARBICAN STANDARDS. 16 REDROW LONDON The Interiors

INTERIORS TO UPHOLD HISTORY.

Blake Tower's collection of apartments is designed to speak the Barbican's language. These are beautiful, functional apartments with a keen awareness of their historical importance and a luxurious, modern specification. These landmark new Barbican residences share the same eye for detail as the estate's mid- century apartments – it's there in the concrete reveals and brass panelling of the landings, and in the clean interior lines of polished plaster and timber. This is matched by a cutting- edge specification, with innovative, integrated lighting, custom tiling and impeccable finishes giving the apartments a crisp and modern aesthetic that is all their own.

THE BEAUTY OF THE BARBICAN.

Built to breathe new life into the City after the Second World War, the Barbican is one of the Square Mile’s most recognisable landmarks. This ‘city within a city’ was conceived by three idealistic and remarkably talented architects as a vision of a better – imposing but intimate, functional but beautiful. Long the haunt of the City’s creatives and non-conformists, much has changed in this neighbourhood since the days when Milton and Shakespeare wandered its ancient cobbles. The spirit of innovation and creativity remains though, inherited and nurtured by the modern estate. The Barbican has been compared to many things, from a rising phoenix to a landlocked ocean liner. The Queen called these 45 acres of sweeping, sculpted concrete simply “a wonder of the modern world”. As a Blake Tower resident, you will be able to call them something even more impressive: Home.

Construction was completed in 1976, almost two decades after the project was approved – testament to the scale and ambition of the architects' vision.

The Barbican’s unique finish was achieved by hand, with pick and bush hammers, intended to part-reveal the Pen Lee granite aggregate in the concrete.

NO DETAIL ESCAPED THE ARCHITECTS’ OBSESSIVE EYES.

PUTTING THE RESIDENTS FIRST.

A place unlike any other in London, the Barbican is home to an equally unique community. Welcoming, active and informed, the Barbican's residents are understandably passionate about their home. In 1969 they formed the Barbican Association - the influential group that now comprises over 60% of this iconic estate's residents. The Association represents residents in questions or queries about the Barbican, while a second group ensures that their voices are being heard in meetings with the estate's managers, and the City of London. Not merely a city within a city then, but a community within a community - welcoming, supportive, and rare.
