Weston Homes has announced plans for a £120m residential scheme at the famous Denham Film Laboratories in Buckinghamshire, where numerous Oscar-winning films were processed.
The 11.9-acre site includes the grade II listed art deco laboratory and 66,740 sq ft head office building built in 1936, and designed by Walter Gropius for film producer Alexander Korda.
The new development will be called Denham Film Studios and will comprise 154 flats and 70 four- and five-bedroom family townhouses.
The main art deco building will be transformed into residential with prices expected to range from £350,000 to £1.5m.
The cinema – which was used to screen movies to Hollywood directors including Stanley Kubrick, Albert “Cubby” Broccoli and Steven Spielberg – will be restored with a bar, community hall and fitness space.
Demolition is due to start next week with a two-and-a-half year construction timescale.
