Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
Liverpool, United Kingdom 2012–2015
Client: Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Grade II* listed RIBA National Award
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall is a much-loved listed building from 1939, designed by leading Liverpool architect Herbert Rowse. The Art Deco manner of the building was strongly influenced by the contemporary work of the celebrated Dutch architect Willem Marinus Dudok. Caruso St John was appointed to renovate the interiors of the hall, improve backstage facilities, and to make a second performance space within a new extension at the rear of the site.
