In my words.
This one is for the architecture geeks. Oriel Chambers is a building I think deserves a much larger place in our architectural imagination.
I photographed it carefully with my 24 mm tilt-shift architectural lens, paying attention to the upright lines and the meeting of the two facades. Those projecting windows are the story: not simply decoration, but an ingenious way of catching the light.
Victorian pinnacles above great panes of glass. A building with one foot in the past and the other somewhere remarkably close to our own time.
A building ahead of its time.
Designed by Peter Ellis and completed in 1864, this Grade I listed office building helped open a new chapter in architecture. Historic England singles out its pioneering use of expressed cast iron construction.
On the street, slender piers rise into pinnacles between the great projecting oriel windows. At the rear, continuous glazing is cantilevered from the frame. There is a wonderfully practical ambition beneath all that Victorian character: more daylight for the people working inside.
Ellis was experimenting inside, too. In 1869 a continuously moving passenger lift was operating here, an early form of the paternoster. There is much more to this Liverpool corner than a handsome facade.
