URBAN REALM DESIGN |
Liverpool Lime Street Station Urban Realm | English Partnerships + Liverpool Vision
A panel of judges, including Network Rail and Liverpool City Council, selected a design team led by ourselves to create a dramatic new entrance to the historic Lime Street Station in Liverpool. The project includes the demolition of existing single storey shop units and the creation of a new public space in front of the train station. The project was commissioned by English Partnerships, and managed by Liverpool Vision, the urban regeneration company for Liverpool city centre. Whilst complementing the station’s existing Grade II Listed Victorian heritage, the new gateway entrance provides a visual landmark in time for Liverpool’s celebrations as European Capital of Culture in 2008. A major programme of improvements is also planned for the interior of the Station.
This project was taken forward by a team led by Glenn Howells Architects, together with Martin Stockley Associates.
