The program for this film studio consisted in three technically equipped & soundproofed rooms (for fittings, shootings, castings, etc.) a ‘production room’ for video editting and a reception hall/waiting area.


The existing space was narrow which only meant that a long corridor was to appear and somehow natural light and ventilation needed to be pushed inside. The corridor was reduced by having an semi-open reception -hidden behind a set of mirrors, controlling the access-with mirrors on one side and an open production room on the other end —convincing the client that this room could be flexible and have other uses. 


The core of the project -still- was to build a corridor. Movement was our departure point: working with the reflective properties of it’s materials to enhance the experience while walking through the space, embracing darkness through careful artificial lighting. And not just movement: A built-in drak-green sofa runs along the premises -adding program to an otherwise just-circulation space.


Covered in wood-cement beige panels and brass joints, the surface of the walls seems like natural stone by the way natural (and artificial) light is reflected, and are strangely pleasant to touch while moving through the space.


A topography of dropped ceilings in navy-blue hides the installations (A/C, electrical,…) and adjusts the spatial proportions throughout the intervention. This visual & formal game, rendered in navy-blue cork (normally used as an exterior finish for façades for it’s insulation qualities) reduces the sound impact outside the film studios, enhancing the acoustic comfort.


The landscape turns upside down at the ‘production room’. The velvety green carpet takes over in a warmer color palette, accompanied by pastel orangee tones from cedar-wood and theater-like curtains, to accommodate a flexible space that invites for floor interaction.


Hidding behing traditional exterior louvers called ‘mallorquinas’ staineless steel countertops create contrast and add reflections to the warmness of the ensemble.

Fittings, shootings, castings… PUFF es un local con tres salas técnicas e insonorizadas para estos usos. El pasillo, lugar de paso y lugar de espera, recorre todo el local, desde la recepción -escondida tras un juego de espejos, controlando el acceso- hasta la sala de producción, de dos niveles con un graderío.


Una topografía escalonada de falsos techos esconde las instalaciones y controla las proporciones del espacio durante el recorrido. Este juego visual, proyectado en corcho azul marino, ayuda a disminuir el ruido fuera de las salas y aumenta el confort acústico general.


El paisaje se invierte en el fondo del local. Aquí -una sala llamada “sala de producción”- el verde aterciopelado de la alfombra toma protagonismo en una paleta de colores más cálidos acompañado de tonos marrones pasteles de la madera de cedro y las cortinas abullonadas para acomodar un espacio flexible directamente ligado al suelo.


Las paredes, paneladas en madera-cemento de color beige con juntas de latón, parecen de piedra natural por la manera en la que se refleja la luz natural (y artificial), provocando una agradable sensación al tacto en movimiento.

Fittings, shootings, castings… PUFF és un local amb tres sales insonoritzades i equipades per aquests programes. Un passadís s’aprofita com a lloc d'espera, recorrent longitudinalment el local, desde la recepció, amagada darrere d’un joc de miralls per controlar l’accéss, fins la sala de producció, de dos nivells amb una graderia.


Una topografia de sostres encabeix les instal·lacions i controla les proporcions de l’espai durant el recorregut. Aquest joc visual, projectat amb suro blau-marí col·labora a reduir el soroll i augmenta el comfort acústic del local.


Invertint el paissatge al final del local, a la sala de producció, el color verd agafa protagonisme i busca aliats tèxtils en la paleta de colors i en altres materials càlids com la fusta.


Les parets, panelades amb taulers de fusta-ciment de color beige amb juntes de llautó semblen de pedra natural per la manera com es reflecteix la llum natural (i artifical), provocant una agradable sensació al tacte en moviment.
