Independent post production and VFX studio UNIT has announced a move into a bespoke new eight storey facility in Fitzrovia, London.

After six years in Noho, the company will move into its new home in Margaret Street in May. The new facility will double the number of grading suites to four large colour suites with Sony BVM-HX310 monitors, complete with Baselight systems and Davinci Resolves, said the company.

UNIT will now have numerous VFX suites housing Flame, Flame Assist, Nuke and Nuke Studio, while the lower ground floor will house MCR, QC and Open Studio working CG/design areas.

The facility will also house voice-over facilities, Protools Rigs and Protools assist station, and UNIT's in-house creative design studio will continue to concept, direct and execute work across its core design and animation capabilities using After Effects, Photoshop, Premier and Cinema 4D.

The move signals the next chapter in the evolution of UNIT shortform (commercials, music video, direct-to-brand, broadcast) and longform (film and episodic) history, and allows for further expansion of its scripted and colour departments within a sustainable and accessible environment, said the company.

Adam and Amanda Luckwell, co-founders of UNIT, said: The opening of our new home on Margaret Street is the culmination of years of evolution at UNIT. We have adapted to the post-pandemic era and embraced hybrid working and the building is designed around that.

It is the perfect environment to develop creativity; it offers the technology to work seamlessly in a remote workflow, as well as the comfort and location to work together physically - whichever route is best suited to our clients, our staff and the project at hand to get the most out of each and every one. We cannot wait to welcome our clients into the new space and collaborate with the very best the industry can offer.
