Studio Build - Second Floor

Using a Location for the main floor of the house, the second floor was designed with similar features.

The DOP requested that a study be done using certain camera lenses that he preferred to use. This resulted in finding an issue with the shoot-off hallway, which Mel quickly resolved by widening the hallway to the Production Designer’s approval.

WM6 - House

Using a Location for the main floor, this second floor bedroom and hallway were built in Studio.

Researching similar homes in Toronto on MLS lead to some unique characteristics being incorporated to the final design. The sloped ceilings and shoot off balcony were added to give the space some additional depth, while not making the room look as large as it was.

The DOP also requested some renders using different lenses to allow him to better asses any concerns he may have. One issue he had was seeing the shoot off staircase from the bedroom. Mel was able to quickly solve this by adding 2’ and slightly altering the width of the hallway, much to the Production Designer’s satisfaction.
