A MATCH MADE IN BRITAIN.
ConranandPartners
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.

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.

32 REDROW LONDON
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 Central London – imposing but intimate, functional but beautiful.

ALL WITHIN MINUTES.The Barbican was built into and over the City of London, and the architects integrated existing transport facilities into the fabric of the estate. The podium-level pedestrian walkways were deliberately raised, allowing traffic to pass through the Barbican unseen and unheard.
