Project name : Mersey Wave

Location: Liverpool/UK

Client: Speke development corporation and Jaguar Cars

A visually dramatic 30 meters high and 72m long gateway expressing a tidal wave of the Mersey marks the geographic boundary of Liverpool. Uniquely the Mersey Wave is the first urban gateway of its kind designed to be experienced both from moving cars as well as by pedestrians. The Mersey Wave a dramatic urban threshold, has 24-hour presence and is dramatically illuminated during nigh time. The geometry of the Mersey Wave gateway is formed by a parallel two sided progression of six 30m long fins at graduated angles from the vertical forming a continuous dynamic waveform. The two central fins form a clear and distinct gateway.
