Barbican Living
Type 36
The Type 36 flats are penthouse duplexes - they're on two floors at the top of the building. There are just one in each of Gilbert House, Mountjoy House and Seddon House, the east-west-facing terraces. In each case, they are surrounded by almost identical Type 35s. (In fact, I can't see any difference.) The lower floor is basically rectangular in shape. There's a bedroom on one side, next to an L-shaped living area, which widens out to take in all the window frontage. The portion in front of the kitchen was designated as a dining area by the Barbican when they designed them. The central part of the living area is double height. Stairs at the back lead to a landing which looks down onto the living area, with a bedroom on one side and a bedroom and a second bathroom on the other side. In addition there's a roof patio.
