Manchester Goods Yard Reception
Cloud Imperium Games Office 2023 - manchester uk
INITIAL BRIEF:
Create a stunning entrance to Cloud Imperium Games’ largest studio, based on the concept art from Ian Leyland (Star Citizen Art Director) .
KEY FEATURES:
Design should be made up from interior elements from “New Babbage” (a location from the Star Citizen universe).
The development of the project must use as little game developer time as possible.
As many building services should be cleverly hidden by the wall cladding.
All lighting elements must be RGB and integrate with the building’s smart lighting system.
Build must meet fire safety specifications for the building.
Elements must be true to the game, not just inspired by Star Citizen, but a life-size recreation of the game’s interior spaces.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The greatest challenge of this project was the design limitations caused by all the building services running through the space and the low height of the existing concrete archway. Creating the smooth “high-tech” look of New Babbage in this space took many hours of design iteration and a huge amount of work from the whole team to bring the complex curvature of the assets to such a high finish.
