Developed in direct response to the needs of the high-value film and television industries, Hoskins Architects have worked with Film City Glasgow on plans to build Scotland’s first dedicated studio facility, with an integrated Facilities Village and Creative Cluster. To be located at the heart of the nation’s film-making infrastructure and crew base, Pacific Quay in Glasgow, the proposals consist of over 8,000 m² of dedicated sound stages, supporting offices and production workshops to be delivered in phases with the opportunity for further expansion of a similar scale available.
Taking cues from the wider masterplan for the area, and based on worldwide best practice in sound stage layout the proposals emphasise the axis with the existing Film City facility, take advantage of views over the Clyde and seek to create a vibrant central space supporting the creative activities at the heart of film making and expanding opportunities for the local film industry.
