Where Was Altered Carbon Filmed?

The majority of filming for Altered Carbon took place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Vancouver has long been a favorite spot for filmmakers to shoot key scenes. High-profile pictures like Deadpool 2 and the upcoming Peacemaker series on HBO Max are just a few examples of projects that have used the city as a home base for productions. However, while most films use the Canadian city as an interchangeable backdrop, Altered Carbon featured some of its most unique locations.

Atlas of Wonders provides a helpful guide to the real-life locations that Altered Carbon repurposes to become a part of Bay City. The exterior of ultra-rich Laurens Bancroft's home, for example, was the University of British Columbia Rose Garden, while the interior was shot at The Marine Building. The Psychasec Vault exterior featured shots of the Qube, which, from certain angles, appears to be suspended from thin air in real life.

While Altered Carbon made excellent use of Vancouver's most notable architecture, more mundane locations found a purpose on the show. According to Atlas of Wonders, the former Canada Post Building was used in five different scenes, and Kovacs grabs a drink with Kristen Ortega (Martha Higareda) in a bar scene filmed at an actual Vancouver nightclub, No5 Orange.
