New Hall Place, Office complex in commercial district, Liverpool, England
New Hall Place rises 73 meters high with 13 floors, featuring a raw concrete exterior and geometric forms that define its brutalist architecture design.
The building, completed in 1974, served as the headquarters for Royal Insurance before becoming part of Royal & SunAlliance through a corporate merger in the 1990s.
Local residents refer to the structure as The Sandcastle due to its exterior appearance, which stands in architectural dialogue with the Royal Liver Building.
The building includes an underground parking facility for 1,100 vehicles, with direct access to the Queensway Tunnel and multiple office spaces for businesses.
The structure utilizes water from the River Mersey through heat pumps, drawing three thousand gallons per hour for efficient heating and cooling systems.
