High-Rise window cleaning, using "Sky king" Wymac elevant 450 on Mann Island, with landmark building reflections, Liverpool, UK.
The Mann Island site is designed to complement and enhance existing and planned attractions on the Liverpool historic waterfront. It forms a pivotal point between the Three Graces and the Albert Dock, with the geometry of the new buildings reflecting this transition. It will create a destination in its own right and form a key link between the city centre, the riverfront and Albert Dock. The Mann Island residential buildings form overlapping wedges with the low points positioned to reveal important views of the Pier Head buildings. These wedges work together to form a changing composition of overlapping forms, creating valleys that frame views of the waterfront and beyond. The site will provide a landmark for the new public space and canal basin. The two buildings have their own contrasting styles, using materials that greatly differentiate them from the Three Graces. People can view the cityscape as a series of changing glimpses rather than fixed views.
