  • Not to be confused with the 1921 Cunard Building (New York City) The Cunard Building is a Grade II* listed building located in Liverpool, England. It is sited at the Pier Head and along with the neighbouring Liver Building and Port of Liverpool Building is one of Liverpool's Three Graces, which line the city's waterfront. It is also part of Liverpool's UNESCO designated World Heritage Maritime Mercantile City. It was designed by William Edward Willink and Philip Coldwell Thicknesse and was constructed between 1914 and 1917. The building's style is a mix of Italian Renaissance and Greek Revival, and its development has been particularly influenced by Italian palace design. The building is noted for the ornate sculptures that adorn its sides. The building was from its construction until the 1960s, the headquarters of Cunard Line, and the building retains the name of its original tenants. It was also home to Cunard's passenger facilities for trans-Atlantic journeys that departed from Liverpool. Today, the building is owned by the Merseyside Pension Fund and is home to numerous public and private sector organisations.
  • Das Cunard Building ist ein Gebäude in Liverpool. Es liegt im Hafenviertel am Pier Head, dass seit 2004 den Status eines Weltkulturerbes besitzt. Zusammen mit dem Royal Liver Building und Port of Liverpool Building gehört es zu den sogenannten Three Graces ("Drei Grazien"), eines der Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Es wurde von William Edward Willink und Philip Coldwell Thicknesse entworfen und zwischen 1914 und 1917 erbaut. Stilistisch ist es von der italienischen Renaissance und dem Greek Revival beeinflusst und orientiert sich an der Architektur italienischer Palazzos. Das Gebäude besteht aus einer Konstruktion aus Stahlbeton und eine Verkleidung aus Portland-Stein. Zahlreiche dekorative Elemente schmücken die Fassade, erwähnenswert sind die Statuen von Weißkopfseeadler, die jeweils an den Gebäudekanten angebracht sind. Im Gegensatz zu den Nachbargebäuden ist es nicht symmetrisch, sondern auf der Rückseite breiter als auf der Vorderseite. Bis in die 1960er war im Gebäude die Reederei Cunard Line ansässig. Heute gehört es dem Merseyside Pension Fund und die Räume werden von mehreren privaten und öffentlichen Unternehmen genutzt.
  • Il Cunard Building è un elegante edificio nel centro di Liverpool, che sorge a Pier Head. Fu costruito da Holland, Hannen & Cubitts tra il 1914 e il 1918 come quartier generale per la Cunard Line, e oggi è noto come la seconda della Tre Grazie di Liverpool. L'edificio fu progettato dallo studio Willink e Thicknesse, con la consulenza di Arthur J. Davis; lo stile è fortemente influenzato dall'architettura italiana, e rientra nella lista degli edifici di grande rilevanza nel Regno Unito, secondo la classificazione di "Grade II*" (edifici di particolare rilevanza e importanza più che locale). La sede della Cunard è rimasta nell'edificio sino agli anni 1960, quando l'edificio venne venduto alla Prudential plc. La compagnia si trasferì a Southampton. Il Cunard Building è famoso per la sua forma molto particolare; è più largo sul retro rispetto che sul frontale. Sarebbe stato disegnato a questo modo per ricordare la prua di una barca.
