About this space

The studio at Upscale Lofts offers a spacious setting designed for photography, video production, and creative events. The room features high ceilings, expansive windows, and plenty of natural light, with a striking view of the Chicago skyline.

The open layout includes a lounge area, elegant decor, and a statement chandelier. It is a great fit for both creative work and small gatherings, with enough room to move comfortably around the shoot or event.

Guests using this room have access to professional lighting equipment, a cyclorama wall, surround sound with Bluetooth, and an 80-inch TV for music or visual playback. A private changing area, clothing rack, and a fully equipped bar with fridge and microwave make the space practical. Strong air conditioning keeps the room comfortable year-round.

I liked the natural light and quiet space. I also liked that we didn’t actually have to meet with anyone (introverts dream).
I feel like the pictures on this side were misleading. There was no bed, no “mini rooms” and just a lot of the stuff that were in the pictures were not in the space. The space included a black and white back drop, three different colored curtains, a couple of stools, a chair, and a couple of mirrors. I was a little disappointed when I walked into this space. We also found a couple of fake press on nails on the floor and our feet were black from walking in there barefoot. We did what we wanted to do in there and made do with what we had but I still feel like I didn’t get what I paid for.
