The design will reconnect Liverpool's City Centre to it's historic waterfront via a sequence of three new public spaces, including a new covered space. Design Response The scheme will consist of 363 apartments (50:50 split of 1 and 2 beds), 75,000sq ft of retail/leisure, 114,000sq ft of net office space and 20,000sq ft of covered public realm e.g. internal exhibition space. It will consist of 12 commercial storeys and 14 residential storeys. Our proposals comprise of three blocks and three new public spaces including a new covered public space. Two triangulated residential builds form large objects on the dock edge whilst a third linear commercial building reinforces the Strand’s streetscape. The sequence of new public spaces reconnects Liverpool’s city centre to its historic waterfront, whilst opening up access to previously enclosed areas of dock. The residential buildings overlapping roofscapes create valleys framing key views through to the ‘Three Graces’ whilst their apexes terminate vistas from the city centre and Chavasse Park. The residential buildings flush black cladding reflects the dark foreground dock water and creates a clear visual separation between the new scheme and the listed buildings beyond.
