Type 84 Blake Tower, Barbican Estate

Type 84 is a one-bedroom flat type found on floor Lower Ground 1 of Blake Tower – the level immediately below ground level. It is the layout for Flat No. LG12.

Type 84 runs along about half (the southern half) of the east side of the building.

Entering the flat off the entrance lobby, the bathroom is on the left, and a corridor leading to the living area is on the right. Ahead is a lobby with a window facing east. The bedroom is off this lobby on the right. Natural light for the bedroom comes from the entrance lobby’s window facing east. The bathroom has a combined bath and shower. Taking the other route along the right hand corridor from the entrance door, you reach an ‘L’-shaped living / dining / kitchen area. The kitchen is on the right, with a utility room tucked behind it. The living and dining area is on the left with windows facing east. The missing quarter of the ‘L’ is semi-external, containing a recent invention, now much-beloved by developers, the ‘winter garden’, meaning an enclosed courtyard and garden area.

LG12 is similar in size and content to LG21 immediately below it, except that LG21 has a separate WC, and LG12 does not.
