On-Air Editing |
Burbank, CA 38,000 square feet The Warner Bros. Ranch, used solely for television production, has an entirely different character than the main studio lot. Here, the traditional Mediterranean architecture is replaced with small scale industrial buildings, trailers, and stage sets. The design of the new On-Air Editing Facility responds directly to this character by repeating the industrial massing and materials found on the neighboring buildings. The concrete block and steel structure is exposed in a composition of corrugated metal siding, cement plaster and storefront windows. On the front facade, a red plaster wall hangs boldly like a stage curtain dividing public from private. The corrugated metal walls containing the core and circulation zone conceal a back-of-house simply skinned in the muted tone of the standard studio plaster. Together, these elements compose a state of the art production facility in perfect harmony with the character of the satellite studio lot. |
