About this space

The East Side Studio is a contemporary photo and event space featuring a distinctive monochromatic design with polished concrete finishes, textured walls, light oak herringbone flooring, exposed metal trusses and a striking oversized cement arch. Two south-facing factory windows flood the studio with natural light, while motorised light-diffusing and blackout blinds allow complete control of the space.

Designed for flexibility, the studio includes a moveable 9 ft x 9 ft white cyclorama wall that can be repositioned during the day or removed entirely for events. Velvet curtains in indigo, mauve and grey-blue provide additional styling options, and the cyclorama can be freshly painted for productions upon request.

The space is ideal for photo shoots, video productions, content creation, commercial projects, brand activations, workshops, product launches, pop-up events, private celebrations and intimate wedding ceremonies. A folding partition also allows the East Side Studio to connect with the West Side Studio, creating almost 2,000 sq ft of event and production space for larger gatherings.
