The unique architectural design was influenced by features of ice crystals, ships' hulls, and the insignia of the shipping line.

The external forms and profiles of this iconic building are defined by anodised Aluminium facia panels.  The specification called for a lifetime guarantee with no cleaning.  The proximity to the sea means that the panels will be exposed to salt air and strong winds.  The Aluminium panels come with a ‘Marine guarantee', proven to stay looking great in one of the most hostile weather environments.
