Waterstones

The Waterstones bookshop on College Lane is defined by its massive, open-plan first floor, which is frequently cited as one of the largest continuous retail spaces for books in Europe. This branch occupies the lower levels of a modern, multi-story building that sits within the Liverpool ONE development. The structure itself is marked by distinctive bronze fins along its exterior, designed to provide solar shading and create changing visual perspectives for anyone observing the building from the street.
