Squint/Opera

Based in London and New York, Squint/Opera merges physical tectonics with immersive digital media, shaping exhibition galleries and public arenas through faceted projection facades, dynamic lattice shadows over vaulted ceilings, and the precise alignment of physical staging with virtual projections. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when specifying media-integrated building envelopes, designing curved displays to create infinite interior horizons, or embedding historic streetscapes into large-scale contemporary structures.

People and a formula car inside a curved LED volume studio environment with projected starscape background by Squint/Opera for Qiddiya City.

Qiddiya City

An interior precedent for immersive virtual production volumes and curved LED exhibition backdrops, blending physical props with digital horizons.

What we like about this project
Physical artificial boulders positioned on platforms directly match the edge of the digital ground plane projection.

Geometry
Expansive curved perimeter LED display enclosing a dark stage floor with a raised platform holding a race car and theatrical rock props.
Structural guess
Suspended lighting truss grid over an open raised studio floor.
Spatial scale
Large-scale virtual production volume accommodating multiple standing visitors, film crew equipment, and a full-size race car.
Lighting
Ambient illumination is cast directly from the luminous LED screen showing a twilight starscape and horizon glow.
Atmosphere
Cinematic, moody twilight glow emitted entirely from the surrounding digital starscape.
Environmental context
Controlled indoor soundstage or virtual production volume with no natural exterior context.
Spatial experience
A completely immersive virtual production stage where physical elements blend seamlessly into a wraparound digital horizon.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal arc of the curved display contrasting with vertical figures and camera rigging in the foreground.
