Tower Wharf Liverpool

The new Tower Warf building in Liverpool is the start of the new enterprise zone of the Wirral water regeneration project. An excellent BREEAM assessment was the starting point. DucoSun Cubic solar shading not only plays a role against overheating, but also contributes to a sleek design.

About the Tower Warf

The Tower Warf in Liverpool was to become an eye-catcher in terms of sustainability. The four-storey building covers an area of no less than 48,000 m2. Located in the Wirral Dock system directly on the banks of the Mersey, the A grade office building kicks off the new enterprise zone of the Wirral Waters Regeneration project with style. An excellent BREEAM assessment was immediately the goal to be achieved.

Large areas of glass not only allow daylight in

The materials used in this building are restrained yet robust. The main part of the building was provided with large glass sections. These not only ensure a high supply of natural daylight, but also allow warm rays of the sun to enter the building. In order to guarantee a comfortable indoor climate for the employee, architectural solar shading was provided.

Architectural solar shading for an optimal working environment

Achitectural solar shading not only keeps out annoying sunrays, but also give the building a sleek look. The DucoSun Cubic with its rectangular louvre blades contribute to the linear aesthetics that the architect had in mind. The carefully designed and positioned structure ensures the desired compromise of allowing in enough natural daylight whilst at the same time reducing screen glare and solar gain to ensure a comfortable indoor environment. An optimal combination of design and functionality.
