Glass Curtain Wall Corner, Liverpool City Centre

9 October 2019 · Liverpool

A contemporary office building in Liverpool city centre, photographed from directly below the corner where two distinct facade treatments meet. The diamond-grid curtain wall dominates the front face — pale glass panels held in dark steel geometry — while the punched dark panel cladding wraps the side elevation in a contrasting rhythm. The cantilevered base pushes the block outward against a flat overcast sky, giving the frame its weight. Two systems of order, one building edge, one answer about how far geometry can go before it becomes architecture.
