Barbican Arts Centre The Barbican Centre in Central London is one of the capital’s leading Arts’ complexes with world important facilities for music, theatre, cinema and the visual arts. The practice was appointed to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment of the Theatre Artists accommodation and create a new Members Bar, and the Concert Hall backstage area and Performers Bar. The designs respect the bold character of the listed interiors of the building while offering a range of new facilities to improve the ambience and comfort for performers and visitors to the backstage areas.
