Production Designers
Visionary production designers creating immersive worlds inspired by Spain's Moorish palaces, Gothic cathedrals, and Gaudí's modernist masterpieces.
The production designer is the head of the art department, responsible for creating the entire visual environment of a film or television production. In Spain, this role draws on an extraordinary architectural diversity — from the Alhambra Palace's Moorish splendor and Seville Cathedral's Gothic grandeur to Gaudí's Sagrada Família in Barcelona, historic Toledo's medieval streets, and Santiago de Compostela's pilgrimage architecture. Our designers understand how to translate these distinctive Spanish settings into compelling screen worlds.
We connect you with production designers who bring deep local knowledge and international-level craft to every project. With access to Ciudad de la Luz in Alicante — featuring 5 stages and an underwater tank — and Estudios Picasso in Madrid, our network ensures your production's visual world is built with the right resources, leveraging Spain's up to 30% tax incentive.

FAQ
Production Design Expertise
What's the difference between a production designer and art director?
The production designer is the head of the art department, responsible for the overall visual concept and working directly with the director. The art director reports to the production designer and oversees the execution of that vision — managing construction, coordinating the team, and handling day-to-day operations.
How do production designers work with Spanish heritage architecture?
Our production designers have extensive experience working with Spain's protected heritage sites, including the Alhambra Palace, Sagrada Família, Historic Toledo, and Santiago de Compostela. They understand Ministry of Culture and regional heritage office permit requirements, including strict Alhambra visitor quotas.
Can you handle both studio builds and locations?
Yes, our production designers excel at combining studio construction at Ciudad de la Luz and Estudios Picasso with practical locations across Spain. They design sets that match location work from Andalucía's Moorish palaces to the Basque Country's modern architecture.
What about period productions in Spain?
Our production designers have extensive experience with historical periods, from Roman and Moorish eras through medieval, Golden Age, and Civil War-era Spain. The country's preserved architecture spans millennia, and our designers have access to research archives, museum collections, and period specialists.
Do you provide the full art department?
Yes, we can staff complete art departments scaled to your production. This includes art directors, set decorators, prop masters, construction coordinators, and all supporting roles sourced from Spain's experienced crew base across Madrid, Barcelona, and regional production centres.
How do production designers work with other departments?
Production designers collaborate closely with cinematography on lighting requirements, costume on visual palette, VFX on digital extensions, and locations on practical considerations. They're the visual hub coordinating all design elements.
