Reinvented space in Liverpool
A former Vanilla store that we converted into offices, retail and leisure spaces. It has tonnes of character, combining gorgeous original Victorian features with smart 21st century architecture and is home to a bustling community of all kinds of businesses.
We've given the building a major new update to reflect the needs of a new generation. Joining forces with award-winning architects shedkm, the space has been refreshed. With improved meeting spaces and super-fast high speed fibre broadband, the upgrades will ensure Vanilla Factory stays at the top if its game, giving occupants everything they need to thrive.
We've also added new bike racks and showers to help make life easy for cyclists. A handy addition to a building that already has exceptionally good transport links. Units varying from 283 sq ft to 7,881 sq ft, Vanilla Factory has something to offer every business.
Vanilla Factory is an exciting part of the growing creative and cultural quarter of Liverpool, dominated by the Ropewalks regeneration area, which includes the flagship Urban Splash mixed-use development, Tea Factory, the successful FACT centre and the nearby Concert Square. Today, Ropewalks is the vibrant heart of Liverpool's independent cultural scene, full of creative businesses, art galleries, book and record shops, independent traders and cafés, fashion and entrepreneurial energy. At night, it has a buzz all of its own, with an eclectic crowd filling its streets to enjoy live music, bars, films and restaurants.

Great new facilities at Vanilla Factory
We’ve invested heavily this past year in our workspaces in Liverpool, creating contemporary, commercial environments for all of our lovely tenants running businesses there.
The newly designed Vanilla building, which we’ve delivered with the help of local architects, skedkm, features an upgraded kitchen complete with new coffee machines, a brand new common room with loads of desk space, relaxing sofas and TV screen - great for informal meetings and co-working; there’s also a large meeting room in which we’ve installed AppleTV for your presentations too.

shedkm
shedkm work in a first floor studio in Bold Street, Liverpool - above Rennie's Art Shop. The space is open, informal and busy. We all sit at refectory tables with IT equipment in a central pod. Visitors are welcome, indeed encouraged, to look around. We like to think of our studio as a living advertisement for our skills and professionalism.
