The different types of flats in Blank House Court Tower Mews
Regular Flats
Each flat has the corridor at its back and all its windows in one front wall only (except the end flats). So the living area and bedroom are always at the front with windows; the kitchens, bathroom and WC are always at the back without. The most standard layout (Types 26 and 27 on floors 1 and 3; Types 31 and 32 on floors 2, 4 and 5) has a bedroom with a bathroom and a WC behind it; and, next to the bedroom, a living area with a kitchen taking a chunk out of it at the rear, leaving an L shaped living room. At each end of the block the flats are smaller or differently shaped because of the stairs and lifts (Types 28 and 29). Some of the corner flats have two bedrooms because of the extra window space (Types 39 and 41) or a dressing room. (Type 40).
Penthouse Flats
There are duplex (2 floor) penthouses on floors 6 and 7. The lower level has a bedroom, bathroom, WC, kitchen and living area. But the unusual attraction is the living area in the centre which is double height, and surrounded upstairs by a gallery, off which there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. (Types 35 and 36). There are a few penthouse flats which are one-room studio flats (Types 44 or 45). There is a corner one-bedroom penthouse which has a living room facing out on two sides (Types 46). Finally, there are penthouses with a spiral staircase between the two floors. One type has a living room, dining area, kitchen bathroom and one bedroom on the lower floor and two bedrooms and a second bathroom upstairs (Type 42); and the other has one less bedroom upstairs (Type 43).
