The completion of Te Pūtahi brings an additional two stages to the prestigious Auckland Film Studios — a world-class venue for film production — generating significant interest from global production firms.
Purpose built features were designed to support the broad range of products, sets, and teams.
Flexibility of use, acoustic performance, and vibration isolation were the three key drivers for design.
The studios have been equipped with smoke extraction system, and smoke and heat detection devices that can be isolated during takes.
To achieve the required acoustic performance, the stages were fitted with acoustic doors.
The building's external layers are completely separated from the internal layers by rubber pads and flexible sealant, creating a 'box within a box' to guarantee acoustic performance.
Te Pūtahi - Auckland Film Studios are the only Green Star rated film studios in New Zealand.
