Southport Theatre

Posted by
Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 11 March 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

This is another building that we have recently completed as architects. It's the theatre and convention centre on the Marine Lake at Southport and I photographed it at sunset a few months ago.

It incorporates the old Floral Hall theatre as well as a new 4 star hotel.

Glad to see that its similar in style, they blend well I would have guessed that they where built at the same time.

That must be wonderful to take a photo on things you've constructed by yourself. Really beautiful, the light here is great.

great photo and i love the building...i mean maybe it would 'feel' different in another kind of lighting, but I love how it has modern and old lines combined...looks a little art deco but not completely...reminds me a little of some of the designs in Miami Beach, but honest, your work looks better :-)
