Want to live like a Hollywood star? Legendary film studios once frequented by Oscar-winning actors are transformed into VERY lavish Art Deco-inspired apartments complete with a 1930s cinema and cocktail bar
A film studio frequented by stars including Greer Garson and David Niven has been converted into a decadent Art Deco-inspired apartment complex in Buckinghamshire.
The world-famous Denham Film Studios, where Oscar-winning films including Goodbye Mr Chips were made and first screened to their directors, will become a new 11.94 acre (4.83 hectare) development built around the original Grade II listed film studio headquarters.
The development comprises 224 lavish homes including 49 apartments in the original 1930s building, starting at £350,000 for a one-bedroom property and £440,000 for a two-bed.
The directors‘ screening room, where filmmakers would watch early cuts of movies made on the lot, has been restored as part of the development of Denham Film Studios in Buckinghamshire which comprises 224 converted and newly built homes
The apartment complex boasts its own Art Deco cinema – originally the screening room at the 1930s studio, which has been carefully restored with plush velvet seating and vintage lamps, and is adjacent to its very own cocktail bar
The new, 12 acre complex in Buckinghamshire has been designed around the original 1930s, Grade II listed Denham Studios where Oscar-winning films including Goodbye Mr Chips were made in its heyday
The site has gone from studios once frequented by directors like Stanley Kubrick and Steven Spielberg, to luxury apartments designed to celebrate the building‘s movie-making heritage complete with Art Deco-inspired features
The complex, developed under Weston Homes, will be home to 154 one, two and three bedroom apartments in addition to 70 four and five-bedroom family townhouses.
Originally built in the 1930s, the cinema was used to screen movies to Hollywood directors including Stanley Kubrick, Albert ‘Cubby‘ Broccoli and Steven Spielberg. Now painstakingly refurbished to its former glory, it will serve as a cinema and club for residents, with subtle nods to the site‘s history.
