Marks Barfield adds a dash of colour to Costa Coffee

Marks Barfield Architects has designed the vibrant facade for a new Costa Coffee shop at Grosvenor’s Liverpool One development.

Created out of 150mm diameter aluminium tubes, the £1m facade’s colour strategy was developed with repeating bright primary colours against a background of subtler purples.

The tubes are sliced to create an elliptical opening and also double up to provide solar shading to the interior.

Astec was the contractor and the work was completed earlier this month.
