It's funny how similar the taste is of everyone living there. Before i watched the video I already knew what he looked like, his fashion sense, his furniture etc Theres another video of a couple living in the Barbican, and it's almost a caricature. I think they may be related to this guy
Yes, the interior is fantastic, but "high density" housing doesn't have to mean an ugly exterior, does it? The one on the outside looks like the low design of a Robert Moses housing project in NYC. Just because you're designing of low income or high density, doesn't mean you have to lack aesthetics.
He’s talking about the amount of windows and natural light that comes in and makes the place very bright naturally, which makes it possible for him to have the duller colours and create variety and not just the white on white on white we see all the time
They have shot it on a very grey day, but it's actually not depressing at all. At least in my opinion. It has a lot of concrete, but it is balanced by brownstone and lots of ponds, fountains and greenery. It is a huge complex and those balancing elements help to not make it feel oppressive.
@Tommaso Petrolo So I’ve only begun watching this channel a day or so ago, but in that short time this is the third time I’ve seen a comment from you taking issue with the lack of diversity of the owners, and I’m not disputing that but I’m wondering why you’re watching? I thought about your issue with this channel last night and I think I get diversity from the wide array of channels and sources of design I frequent. I’ll look at good/interesting/innovative design and Architecture wherever it is and learn from that esthetic, I’m not going to limit myself based on ownership, that makes me discriminate again ME! I’m especially interested in interior design and solutions for small spaces because that’s always been my challenge. I particularly enjoy a feed I’ve been getting on small older studio apartments in New York City, like 400 sq feet or so, they have some GREAT storage solutions. I could give a rat’s ass who lives there or in these homes. So why are you here if not for the design? You don’t want to look at the homes of these people, don’t support/subscribe/click on this channel. You’re not going to impact anyone that’s viewing it, they’re like me, they’re just looking at things like furniture and paint. 👀
@@carolz5090 People can be simultaneously interested in interior design and ask questions about featuring people from diverse backgrounds. It's hardly offensive 🙄
@@ezthepest I didn’t say it was offensive. I said I agreed with him regarding the diversity of the home owners in this series. I said that I don’t limit the interior design I see on RUclips due based on the color of the owners. I’m interested in good design regardless of who owns the space. I look at the homes of millionaires in England, and people who are creating really interesting solutions for very small spaces. I watched one today about an artist in Basque who renovated a small church himself, and several others dealing with micro apartments in NYC and Paris. If I’m not limiting myself on what I watch diversity naturally follows. I suggested to him that he not patronize this channel if he had a problem with the ownership of homes that were shown, there are zillions of other videos on design, and that he shouldn’t givie the creators here the clicks since HE found the channel offensive.
Oh! I love the Barbican Estate, Mr. Morris is one lucky man, and he's decorated the flat beautifully!
Oh wow, you can see the dome of St Paul's cathedral from your balcony? What a property!
I love this channel!!!
Great concept ..used to live in Amsterdam 🌷🇳🇱
Love the style, could have watched longer!
This series is too good!!
Those cushions!
didn't mention which color was used in his bedroom? it's a nice green
@@Jacks_here great, thanks!
This guy reminds me of that Fight Club character played by Edward Norton, before he "meets" Tyler.
Those videos are great but way too short!

a good cleaning of those sliders windows would make an enormous difference
What paint colours were used here?
Wow, spotted a Zimbabwe bird. Where did he get that I wonder?
Nice. Just clean the moss off the balcony wall, and add some more plants for more nature.
where does this lamp in living room near the sofa comes from? can anyone answer ? pls. its amazing :)
myapie hi, there are two lamps. One black, and another with crystal vase.
@@juliopakoeningrat153 i mean this black one :))
My money is on it being by Tom Dixon.
Does anyone know where his white shelves are from?
String shelving. Hope this helps!
@@tomhall4325 Oh wow, thank you so much for the info!
Painting my living room oval room blue
interesting structure
We're not all like this in the Barbican 😂
Yet another Barbican flat without, apparently , a television.
Oh he's far too busy reading books about new wave clay for any of that prole nonsense
It's clearly there, in the central section of his String shelves, although at one point it's hidden behind a painting (quite a neat idea, I thought)
Is it wrong to not own a tv?
are you blind there literally is one

Not seems as ugly back then, by many
This is the mastepiece of brutalisam, and yes its beautiful
This definitely wasn’t designed for people with low income
“Its very bright” has dull earthy colours like dark dull brown..
He’s talking about the amount of windows and natural light that comes in and makes the place very bright naturally, which makes it possible for him to have the duller colours and create variety and not just the white on white on white we see all the time
Yeah ummm I’m not really seeing a true living with colour situation here 🤔, but the place is cool.
The outside looks like a high-end housing project in the Bronx, circa 1970's, or a depressing prison.

I agree. Frightening and oppressive in appearance. The water features and landscaping are dismal at best.
who else could be showing a flat in the barbican if not a white blond dude.

@@ezthepest who the fuck cares about the colour of the skin of people. I only care about their houses ffs
The flat is beautiful,great colors that compliment each other but the building is just a post apocalyptic horror.
Quite the contrary, I’d say. It’s a Brutalist masterpiece and really liveable
I agree. Barbican has a frightening and oppressive appearance from the outside.
sorry, it's neither bright nor colorful. It's depressing inside and out. London is amazing though, this just doesn't feel like a home
Yes, Barbican is grim and depressing in appearance. Even the attempt at greenery and water features is dismal.
