The proposal, for developer Yoo Capital, would create a 93,000m2 mixed-use district known as the Camden Film Quarter, including \u2018world-class\u2019 studios and sound stages and a range of post-production facilities.<\/p>\n

The scheme includes a mixed-use neighbourhood offering more than 1,000 homes, of which 50 per cent would be affordable.<\/p>\n

This residential area sits adjacent to the production stages and is planned to feature commercial space for galleries, shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. Residents would be protected from the noise of film-making by \u2018cutting-edge\u2019 sound insulation technology, SPPARC says<\/p>\n

Camden Film Quarter is touted as the \u2018first purpose-built film studio campus\u2019 in the inner city. SPPARC says it has been developed in response to the \u2018booming demand from the global screen industry for production space in the heart of London\u2019, with 900 film-related companies operating in the area.<\/p>\n

Plans also include two film and television schools, which would sit within an on-site education hub and provide opportunities for young people.<\/p>\n

The quarter would be located to the north of Regis Road, opening up an underused site and improving access to the area through a new network of pedestrian and cycle paths, which would run through additional parks and green spaces. A new cycle bridge crossing the railway line would shorten the journey between Kentish Town and Hampstead Heath.<\/p>\n

SPPARC says the appearance of the studios is \u2018inspired by civic architecture\u2019 so as to blend the production sites with the surrounding area.<\/p>\n

It added: \u2018Buildings have been carefully designed to acknowledge the local area\u2019s rich diversity of architecture, referencing its historic industries and former railway goodsyard where the site is located.\u2019<\/p>\n

Practice principal Trevor Morriss said: \u2018Innovating for the industry with its stacked studios, and as the first of its kind in Europe and one of only a handful in the world, our masterplan seeks to reimagine what film studios can look like.\u2019<\/p>\n

He added: \u2018Our ambition is to deliver a vibrant, open neighbourhood that brings creative industries together with local communities by blending production space with living, education, leisure and high-quality public realm.\u2019<\/p>\n

SPPARC previously collaborated with Yoo Capital on the restoration of the former Grade II-listed Saville Theatre<\/a>, which received planning approval in April.<\/p>\n

A planning application for the film quarter is expected later this year, but Camden Council has already adopted the masterplan vision into its Regis Road Area Guidance.<\/p>\n
