Royal Liver Building: Liverpool (Atrium)

Location: Royal Liver Building, Liverpool
Sector: Professional Services
Scope of Works: Design > Refurbishment
 
The Brief   
A major phase of the works undertaken by Claremont across the Royal Liver Building was the refurbishment of the building’s West Entrance Atrium, with the intention of creating a sense of arrival and focus which would compliment the Liver Building ethic and the refurbishment works already completed. Claremont were tasked with delivering a considered, flexible, cost-effective solution which would maximise existing features to their full potential, whilst accommodating future change.

The Solution  
The solution entailed retaining the atrium’s original features, including the original arches to the columns, the staircase to the basement, the circular light dome, roof glazing and stained glass windows. From the remaining space, the light fittings, roller shutter, frames, glazing to arches and water feature were stripped out and the columns, arches, ceiling coffers and walls were refurbished, redecorated and replaced. A new tiled floor was laid over the existing floor and new direct and indirect ambient and feature lighting installed. The Atrium was also designed to accommodate future change to include the addition of a mezzanine deck - an elegant, lightweight structure with perimeter walkways and staircases connecting the levels, all to provide an elegant cost-effective solution.

Claremont is currently in the process of completing the mezzanine phase of the refurbishment, with completion expected in June 2010.
