Studio Ulster, newly opened in Belfast, is a state-of-the-art virtual production facility within a wider film-studio complex at Belfast Harbour. The £72 million project is a collaboration between Ulster University and the Belfast Harbour Commission.
Spanning more than 75,000 square metres, the centre includes multiple virtual production stages, a dedicated motion-capture stage, post-production suites, and a screening room.
RPP Architects were commissioned to design the building, and their vision for the screening room – an important component at the heart of the studio – centred on it feeling “warm, cosy, intimate and comfortable.”
To achieve the required acoustics and create the desired atmosphere, they clad the room’s walls with custom-made dimensional panels in walnut veneer from Gustafs, incorporating both plain and nano-perforated surfaces.
Gareth Andrews from RPP Architects met up with us at the studio and spoke about their ideas and the material selection for the screening room.
