Like a concrete cathedral in the heart of London, this £4m brutalist lair for sale with The Modern House is an unmatched opportunity to create a cavernous home with significant architectural integrity in an iconic development – The Barbican Estate.
Aptly entitled 'The Void Space', this single space unit measures 35 feet in height and 65 feet in length, with almost all of its exposed surfaces made of concrete. Whilst your imagination may run wild as to the style of Batcave you could create in this unique space, a collaboration by renowned architectural practices 6a Architects and Sanchez Benton Architects has already envisioned a serene, 3,100 sq ft home with light flooding in through floor to ceiling glazing at one end of the space and further through windows along the full length (65 feet) of the upper level of the building.
If a more dramatic finish is required by the buyer, it's not difficult to imagine all sorts of different configurations in this blank canvas to create a city center lair of the highest order.
A Concrete Lair within an Iconic Listed Estate
The Barbican Estate, in which this concrete lair is found is an iconic, Grade II listed, post-war development set in London's bustling financial district and thus is surrounded by a huge selection of venues for dining and entertainment. The complex itself is home to the renowned Barbican Centre – an arts and drama center which regularly hosts world-class performers – and residents have access to the estate's private gardens and lake (2.5 acres and 1.5 acres respectively).
Given the highly sought after nature of this 1960's brutalist development and its proximity to the affluent populace of the City, the opportunity to purchase a blank canvas such as this is astonishing and rare.
