Type 100 is a two-bedroom flat type found on the Ground floor of Blake Tower. It is the layout for Flat No. 2 – or 02 – on the ground floor of Blake Tower (street level).

Flat 2 takes up the back third of the ground floor of Blake Tower behind the lifts. The flat is entered off the communal lobby behind the tower’s reception area and next to the lifts. Straight ahead is the living / dining / kitchen area. The kitchen is along the right wall. The living area has a window facing east and a smaller window facing south towards the external stairs. Turning right from the entrance lobby, there is a corridor towards the bedrooms. On the right is a utility room and then a separate WC.
