From set to screen: The Loft & The Playground take over film and TV

You may already have read about it in our 2025 Wrapped up blog… our daylight studios are finding their way onto the screen with ease! From streaming series to feature films and reality TV, Atelier Oost Amsterdam is appearing more often than ever. Sometimes boldly, sometimes subtly — but always setting the mood. Productions such as Gooische Vrouwen, Haantjes, Bodem (seasons 1 & 2), Perfectly Imperfect, De Z van Zus and Yolanthe’s reality series deliberately chose our studios as their backdrop. And honestly? We couldn’t be more proud.

    The Loft as a filming location: urban luxury with a cinematic wow factor

    The Loft is our most luxurious daylight studio — and it truly shows on camera. Think urban elegance with a refined New York feel, bathed in magical natural light. What attracts filmmakers here?

  • Expansive windows and exceptionally high ceilings, creating an immediate sense of space
  • An industrial character with a chic, high-end finish.
  • A neutral colour palette that works beautifully on camera and keeps the focus on your cast.
  • High-quality designer furniture and carefully styled corners that can be rearranged endlessly.
  • Iconic features such as the plastered staircase and the arched wall; our new wooden wall adds a stunning golden glow on screen.

    The Loft never overpowers — yet it defines the atmosphere. That’s exactly why this setting worked so well for De Z van Zus and Yolanthe’s series: minimalist, sophisticated, believable and visually strong.

    The Playground as a filming location: bold, experimental and endlessly versatile

    The Playground is anything but standard. This studio is vast, high-contrast and inspired by desert landscapes and colours. Why this is a must-film location:

  • Our largest studio — truly monumental in scale
  • A warm, earthy colour palette with Marrakech vibes
  • Unique textured wall finishes that respond beautifully to light
  • Four striking staircases and limitless options thanks to creative set builds
  • Silver and chrome (designer) furniture and accessories for contrast
  • Minimalist corners, reflective objects and magical daylight

    Here, anything is possible. From intimate dialogue scenes to large-scale moments. The Playground is experimental, cinematic and one of a kind in the Netherlands. No wonder productions such as Bodem, Gooische Vrouwen and Haantjes have already filmed here.
