The construction of this new 52,888 capacity venue required infilling the existing dock to create a platform to build on. The stadium’s barrel-shaped roof frames large windows overlooking the docks, while the material palette reflects the area’s maritime heritage with a solid masonry plinth and steel roof.
A new home for Everton FC that combines precision engineering with care for its surroundings. Modern digital tools and manufacturing techniques brought the striking curved ‘barrel’ roof to life and seamlessly connected it to the stands. From protecting marine life and avoiding silt removal to involving the local community, the project shows how thoughtful construction processes can create a stadium that is both impressive and responsible.
