*a Brutalist housing complex of 2,000 units in London
Brutalism became associated with cheaply built, rapidly decaying bare concrete hellholes, but the Barbican was an aspirational development and remains so to this day. It's a remarkable place - huge, unique and endlessly explorable.
In my (rented) kitchen, the dishwasher is next to the refrigerator, which both manufacturers advise you against.
The cupboard panels are glossy and face South, so during most sunshine hours, you are slightly blinded by reflections, and can see every single speck of dirt and grease on them.
Some of the cupboards don't have handles, instead open by spring when pressing one corner of their door - which only works reliably within an area of around 2cm x 2cm, otherwise they just jiggle in place.
