This development of three buildings on Liverpool's docklands was always going to attract controversy.  Located as it is adjacent to the iconic buildings known as the "Three Graces"  which are an important part of this World Heritage site.  What Broadway Malyan have created is a mixed-use scheme involving two dramatic black angular buildings connected by a shared atrium and a separate linear building running parallel to the Strand.  In all the development has added, "363 one and two-bed apartments, 7,295m² of retail and leisure space, 13,080m² net office space and 1,247m² of covered public realm, including an internal exhibition area."  The project's critics have nominated the development for a "Carbuncle Award" and described the buildings as the "Three Disgraces".



The black clad complex, shown on the left above and below, is made up of two buildings called Latitude and Longitude connected by an atrium called Equator. 



These buildings comprise mixed commercial and residential spaces, with restaurants, cafés and galleries on the ground floor, and accommodation beginning on the second floor.  As far as I have been able to determine, the third building appears to be known as 1 Mann Island and it is an office block.
