industry itself rose to the occasion. Cold calls to Succession decorators (who masterfully pulled this same set off in New York) helped point me in the direction of City Knickerbocker (rental) and BB Props (fabrication) to source and fabricate the iconic wall sconces typically found in the congressional hearing rooms. This detail alone grounded the whole set, making it a success. A Legacy of Hollywood Craftsmanship As the project concluded, it became evident that we had created a world that actively contributed to the narrative. The sets became characters in their own right, imbued with history, artistry, and the collective craftsmanship of our team. It was storytelling through collaboration. The Residence showcased how Set Design goes beyond architecture or decoration; every room, every prop played an integral role, offering context for the characters and drawing the audience deeper into the unfolding mystery. The project also reaffirmed large-scale builds are still very much achievable in Los Angeles, seamlessly blending traditional hand-crafted techniques with today's cutting-edge design and fabrication technologies. The insights gained here will undoubtedly shape how we approach future productions, striking a balance between Hollywood spectacle, tight timelines and budgetary challenges. Production Design is never just a backdrop—it's a living, breathing entity, rich with personality, history and secrets waiting to be uncovered. ADG François Audouy, Production Designer A.
