A first for Northern Ontario: a purpose-built film and television production studio. Housing three large-scale, black-box studios, a workshop and paint area, offices, wardrobe departments, and other support spaces, this facility would help meet the growing demand for sophisticated production spaces in Canada.

Surrounded by dramatic northern landscape, Fresh Water Studios would provide a unique Northern Ontario backdrop to many productions, highlighting its natural beauty and seasonal transitions.

Our work on this project expands from the building itself to creating a ‘production lot’ with equipment storage, additional mini studios, supporting offices, cafés, and restaurant space. Design was centered around defining what makes a film studio a “northern” film studio by marrying together elements of landscape and film with modern design concepts such as representing wooden trunks of a northern forest or blades of an aperture or frames of a film strip as a series of angled fins to provide privacy and passive shading for production offices.
