Maple delivered an architectural façade for a seven storey Liverpool car park, using laser cut aluminium panels with an abstract pattern inspired by historic sailing ships. Combining solid and expanded mesh panels, the façade protects users from the elements while allowing natural light and ventilation, with the ‘sailing ship’ design aligning precisely across multiple panels to create a striking visual feature.
It was a difficult technical project that wasn't without its challenges. But the quality of the end product, from the manufacture to the installation, is great. Early engagement between Willmott Dixon, Maple and the architect was important.
