GLASS FOR FAÇADE 2018

SAINT-GOBAIN BUILDING GLASS – FACADE / 35 For this inspiring project, COOL-LITE XTREME 50/22 II was chosen for the entire facade. An ideal combination of high level of light transmission, optimal sun protection, and a high degree of neutrality. In this way, the language and materials of the main façade draw on the industrial heritage of Liverpool’s historic dock structures. The Pullman Hotel Liverpool was also part of the Exhibition Centre Liverpool (ECL) project. This new 4 star hotel houses 200 bedrooms and is situated over the Exhibition Centre. Once again, it was Denton Corker Marshall that carried out the architectural and interior design. The hotel’s external appearance is expressed as a series of horizontal ‘tubes’ sitting on top of each another. Its envelope creates a vertical extension to the form of the ECL. Both opened up on either end, they offer breathtaking views from the west end over the River Mersey and on to the east to the magnificent Anglican Cathedral and city skyline.
