Mersey Observatory Liverpool England
Phos Architects have recently been shortlisted in an international competition to design an iconic structure in Liverpool.
The Mersey Observatory will offer unrivalled panoramic views of Liverpool Bay, the city’s famous skyline, the busy working docks and international shipping traffic on the River Mersey. The form of our design, in combination with the setting, is intended evoke thoughts of industry, and ship building. We have designed the Mersey Observatory to be tapered and extend upwards to create a coastal beacon, similar to a lighthouse.
Way more exciting than anything being built so far for the London Olympics. More after the jump.
