Mersey Wave Gateway, Liverpool

   

Speke Garston Development Corporation

   

A visually dramatic gateway resembling two tidal waves of the Mersey frames the geographic boundary. The gateway is specifically designed to be read as a distinct presence from moving cars. Its monumental scale is achieved by a progression of twelve thirty-meter high fins. During night time the Mersey Wave Gateway will further evoke the experience the tidal river by slowly moving waves of blue light forming on the surface of the fins facing incoming traffic.
