CORE was engaged to deliver a facade upgrade for Club Liverpool with the objective of modernising the building’s appearance. The design incorporates new glazing and striking aluminium architectural features, including battens and perforated screens with complex three-dimensional geometry.
Optimised Design for Performance and Cost Efficiency
To achieve the right balance between cost and performance, our facade engineers used Finite Element Modelling (FEM) in Strand7 to optimise the design of the perforated panels. Careful attention was given to panel thickness, as the smallest adjustments could significantly impact the project budget. By optimising the geometry and engineering, we delivered a solution that met the architectural vision while keeping costs under control.
Agile Problem-Solving Through Construction Challenges
As this was an upgrade to an existing building, close coordination with the structural engineer and subcontractors was critical.
Tolerances were tight and as demolition revealed unexpected misalignments across multiple elevations, our team responded quickly by tailoring design solutions for each affected area. This flexible, problem-solving approach ensured construction could progress without compromising on performance or aesthetics.
Through ongoing collaboration with the client and project partners, CORE has helped transform Club Liverpool into a modern, vibrant facility. Our role demonstrates how we combine advanced technical design with a people-first, solutions-driven approach that keeps projects moving forward even when challenges arise mid-construction.
