Conversion of an empty warehouse unit into a virtual production studio.

This project transformed a very tired and neglected warehouse into a fully operational virtual production studio. Our client selected us to provide a design and build process, from initial concept design through to installation and handover.


Existing spaces and new mezzanine areas were professionally developed into a modern, professional, industry-leading space, delivered on time and within budget.

Fit-Out of an Empty Barn Conversion to create a Specialist Nursing Care Bed Showroom

Our client approached us after they had secured an empty barn in Flackwell Heath near High Wycombe. They wanted to convert the 1,700 square foot space into a showroom for their specialist nursing care beds. 


They had a clear vision for what they wanted to achieve with the space but needed someone who could take these ideas, develop them and then deliver the conversion on site.

Collaborative design.

The client knew exactly what products they wanted to display and therefore, what they needed to fit into the space. With a clear brief, we were able to come up with some initial layouts to show how a series of different products could be displayed in a single area, without having everything on display from the moment you walked in.


We then worked very closely with the client’s marketing and interior styling teams to come up with a colour scheme and selection of finishes that gave a domestic feel to a cold and empty commercial space.

Collaborative design.

With their detailed knowledge of the film and virtual production industry, our client approached us with a very clear vision for the space. The Glenside team worked closely with them to realise this vision and turn it into a tangible design scheme that worked with the available space.


Once we had the client’s brief for the overall ‘look and feel’ of the space, our team utilised our technical knowledge to ensure that the infrastructure was in place while maintaining the desired high level of finishes and aesthetic design.

Swift fulfilment.

Getting the studio operational as soon as possible was a significant factor for our client, as they were incurring rates and utilities for the building without generating any revenue from it until the studio space was functional.


With the screen on order, the clock was ticking from the day we first met our client. We allocated the necessary labour to the project and devised a plan that transformed the neglected warehouse into a fully functioning, state-of-the-art virtual production space in just 10 weeks.

Quality finish.

To enable our clients to generate maximum revenue from the studio, they wanted to create a space with a premium feel, offering superior facilities compared to other studios in the area.


After several visits to our showroom, we agreed on a design scheme that was visually appealing and also hard-wearing (another client requirement due to the frequent movement of people within the space).


The feedback indicates that our clients’ customers love the space, and it is very well received by everyone who visits.

Specialist scope.

Specialist aspects of the project included design and installation of:


  • Mezzanine floor adaptation
  • Acoustic suspended ceiling and drylining
  • Specialist power outlets
  • Hollywood-style mirror
  • Roller shutter
  • Access control
  • CCTV
  • Fire alarm

Swift fulfilment.

Getting the showroom open as soon as possible was a key driver for the project. By taking care of the whole package, Glenside were able to coordinate all the relevant trade and supplier lead times to ensure that the project was delivered in just over 6 weeks.


The entire project was delivered on time and to budget, enabling the client to fulfil the client visits and showroom opening that they had arranged prior to the conversion project commencing.

Quality Finish.


Given the level of investment that client’s customers would be making when they come to the showroom, it was imperative that the space reflect the brand’s quality and that customers felt looked after while attending.


The entire scheme was developed in close collaboration with an external interior designer, who has a lot of previous experience in the domestic furnishing market, to ensure that a homely feel was maintained throughout the space. 


There was also the consideration of longevity and the need for hardwearing finishes that would stand up to the footfall of the space and this was taken into close consideration when finishes were suggested.
