Explore The Spaces

  • Industrial Loft

    Our Industrial Loftspaceis 2000 sq feet, featuring high ceilings, 100-year-old blistered concrete, distressed brick walls, and full remote parabolic softbox overhead bi-light studio light which come with the space.

    The space has been utilized for its soundproof qualities, such as interviews, live music recordings, and audio filming.

    Loading Dock

    This is a car friendly double truck entrance with a loading dock garage in a 1920s industrial building. Featuring steel gates, vintage props, RBG-bi lighting, and historic charm, our Loading Dock is a raw space that adds to any project.

    We’ve hosted some impressive music videos, short films, interviews, fashion editorials, and dance performances.

  • A cozy library with tall bookshelves filled with books, large windows with plants, a wooden table with chairs, an orange armchair with a pillow, and globes hanging from the ceiling.

    Library

    Our Vintage Library space boasts high ceilings, park views, soundproof windows, and adjustable lighting. Adding to its unique character are 100-year-old work objects that tell stories of labor through their worn surfaces—blistered paint, burn marks, and saw cuts. The centerpiece of the space is our custom conference table; a proud symbol of craftsmanship.

    This space is perfect for interviews, music videos, and sound recording.

  • A photoshoot taking place in a cluttered workshop or garage with two men posing for the camera, one sitting and one standing. The workshop has various tools, shelves, and equipment scattered around.

    Workshop

    Our active woodworking shop is capable of welding, plasma cutting, industrial sewing. There are multiple work tables, and shelves filled with vintage tools and materials. Designed as a commercial shop, it's currently a space where I volunteer to teach young people valuable trades and hands-on skills.

    When it’s not in use, the soundproof workshop becomes a compelling set; great for rugged interviews and storytelling.
