A striking and versatile cube
Located at the entrance to the Matchworks estate in South Liverpool, the striking, fully-glazed Matchbox building is currently home to Trident Gyms.
Designed by award-winning architects shedkm, Matchbox was originally created as Grade A office space, but its flexible floorplates have made it an ideal space for gym operators, combining contemporary design with practical versatility.

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.
