The places that film and television gets made are generally not pretty. Productions offices, studios and workshops tend to be at best function, at worst downright brutal. Architect Kim Francis has done something different at Melbourne`s Docklands Studios, though. He has designed a beautiful space for the crew to hang out.
Francis, whose firm, Benier Francis, designed the original studios amid the swirling controversies of 2000-02, was given the job of upgrading Studio 5 for live television, and at the same time transforming the old PMA warehouse on the site into interlinked workshops and production offices.
