Built in 1971, the Barbican Estate is the finest achievement of the architects Chamberlin, Powell & Bon. The architects drew inspiration from Le Corbusier, famous for being one of the pioneers of what now is called Modern architecture. Their vision has created a unique urban village community devoid of traffic with immediate amenities including the Barbican Arts Centre, a church, school, library and shops. The estate was Grade ii-listed in 2001 in recognition of its extraordinary contribution to London’s urban landscape. Hamilton Brooks have been proudly Independent for over 30 years.
