SHEDKM

A remarkable celebration of the first five years of Shedkm architecture, displayed in an unsual book.

Shedkm is an acclaimed design studio born on a summer afternoon and grown to a balanced architectural entity in just five hectic years.

From obscurity to national award winning status, Shedkm's particular brand of architectural logic brought together a group of students and graduates, mainly from Liverpool and John Moores universities, into a friendly dedicated studio in Liverpool's cultural ropewalks quarter where graphic designers, actors, poets and musicians mingle freely with engineers, architects and new wave designers.

Shedkm's method is simple: take a problem, expose the parts, put together a solution based on simplicity, logic and style... more than this, be enthusiastic - keep to modernist principles and enjoy being architects.
The first five years prove the point - from nothing to a sixteen strong studio - from no projects to several large completions and a book full of ongoing work.

This celebratory publication gives a glimpse of the result -mainstream modern architecture built and in use - projects under design and construction - some dreams and now, many realities...
