Award-winning Birmingham icon
Fort Dunlop is an architectural icon. This Birmingham landmark was transformed by Urban Splash into 300,000 sq ft of commercial space over seven floors - as well as an adjacent hotel.
Fort Dunlop's always been a talking point; from its heyday as the busy factory of Dunlop Tyres, to the time a 24-metre high picture of David Beckham's face adorned the facade, it's a building which has regularly made the headlines. Big and beautiful, it gave Urban Splash a brilliant fabric to work with and in 2006, we unveiled 300,000 sq ft of newly created, contemporary Grade A office space, retail and leisure spaces and a hotel to the world.

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.
