Designed
for an intensely collaborative and creative film production studio, this
massive internal project involved transforming two airplane hangars on a former
Coast Guard base and converting them into a full production film studio.
Reflecting the client's unique operational flow, the project was conceived
around the premise of "strange loop", a
term often used in film to describe the movement through interconnected levels,
where one finds oneself back where one started.
Through the utilization of an adaptable display wall system that
encompasses the various departments within a continuous loop, various artistic
and production departments are able to engage and collaborate with each other
in a non-linear back-n-forth manner.
Program
was positioned according to its specific level of required light and sound
control. Through the aggregation of the significant amount of required ?dark
program? (screening rooms, color grading stations, theaters, etc), along a
centrally located core, other programs are allowed to receive natural light
from the exterior while simultaneously providing a flexible open floor plan. Carve-outs
through the core define shortcuts, maximize circulation efficiency and provide "color" opportunities otherwise not available, due to the sensitivities of
computer monitors. Additionally, strategically located curvilinear vertical
nodes promote further collaboration between levels and enhance the experience
of the considerable height of the hanger from ground level.
The flag wall system, primarily comprised of
11" x 17" magnetized steel panels, dynamically communicates the unique process
of performance capture, while facilitating the large demand for adaptable
working pin-up space. In addition, the 18% gray tri-fold curtain provides
flexible horizontal light control throughout the day.
