The team behind creative agency, Liquid, has acquired a new site in Liverpool, which it’s transformed into a studio and events space.
Space Event Studio on Stanhope Street has already played host to football magazine, Mundial, while the BBC hired the entire building ahead of Eurovision.
Based in Baltic Triangle, the 2-storey building has been redesigned by architects Strado to feature an onsite coffee shop, barber shop and a podcast studio.
“What we wanted was to create something totally different for the city, delivering widespread appeal and rooted in quality, flexibility and versatility. We have brought together all the elements needed to create an event of any type, supported by the best resources and infrastructure,” explained Jake Nolan, Head of Brand & Marketing at Space Liverpool and Liquid.
“With the partnerships we’ve forged with local independents and artisans, coupled with our own in house design expertise, we’re able to host literally any type of event from brand activations, product launches to shoots, exhibitions, weddings, and so much more.”
Nolan said that they were inspired by some of the studios in East London:
“Ultimately, this space has been created by designers and creatives for that same market – we want to attract more big brands, invite collaborations and give the city a new proposition for the creative community.
“We’re seeing some really exciting developments right now – Eurovision of course has elevated us onto the world stage attracting huge brands to the city, including Box Park who are moving to the area this year. We need to build on this momentum and keep Liverpool centre stage as a thriving artistic and creative hub.”
Space Liverpool has retained its original site ‘Space Content Studio’ within Camp and Furnace on Greenland Street.
“We know that purchasing and investing in a commercial/industrial building at a time of economic uncertainty, and in particular one where the property market is so unstable could be seen as a risk, however for us, a project of the nature is very much needed in Liverpool and within our neighbourhood in the Baltic Triangle,” added Steve McGauley, Founder of Liquid and Space Liverpool.
“We have done little to market this space so far but have been overwhelmed by the interest we’ve generated through word of mouth. On a wider note, this is the next natural evolution for us as an agency and for the Space brand. We have so many exciting ideas and projects ahead and building these foundations forms a critical part of our journey.”
