Site 17
LIVER STREET CAR PARK - NOW OPEN
URBAN FORM
Three levels of parking sit above the ground floor footprint with a further two smaller levels set back along the western boundary. The building elevations must respond to several important approaches, most significantly the north west corner facing the Park axis and adjacent transport interchange. Double height taxi rank provides sheltered public waiting areas.
USES
Ground Floor - Bus parking for up to 18 buses.
Floors 1-5 - High quality naturally ventilated parking decks. A lightweight glass bridge connects to site 10 at second floor level.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The buildings form and elevational treatment must recognise the security brief from the adjacent police HQ.
MATERIALS
The surrounding buildings are characterised by the use of deep red brickwork and terracotta and this building needs to respond to this.
