We're part of a unique Victorian house converted into working spaces. The house is designated as part of a unique and historic district of San Rafael. San Rafael is the oldest city in Marin County. We're minutes away from the hustle of the downtown area but are located at the end of a secluded street within earshot of all the action. We consider our location to be a blend of a busy/mellow area ;) Our unit is located in the upper half and has great constant light. A combination of hardwood and carpeted flooring with white walls and mid-century modern furniture contrast with the timeless and bold character of the Victorian house. There's a private bathroom for yours to use only. Our space also offers coffee machines, free k-cups, tea, water included in the rental, plus a mini-fridge. Space is flexible for meeting spaces, content creation, or photoshoots. As a working studio we are honored to be considered for your meeting of 10 maybe a few more. It is available for rent to creative professionals- content creators, photographers, hair/makeup artists, videographers, and other professionals- for use as a creative studio or meeting space. We've had brides rent our space for their getting ready time before their wedding and have gotten the most beautiful bridal portraits. Features of the space: -Approximately 700 square feet, 400 ft shooting space -Hardwood Floors -Lots of natural light through large windows covered in sheers -White walls to increase light reflection -Alexa powered DJ -Meeting space with cute seating area + coffee table -Wardrobe rack -Private restroom -Vanity Area for h/mua -AC/heat unit FAQ - Can I tour the space before? Yes, we invite you to come and get a good feel of the space prior to your rental. We'll even make a short appointment so you can see it, even if you're not sure this space is right for you. -Does the studio have WIFI? Yes we do! -Can I bring lighting equipment, backdrops, or other larger equipment? Yes. You may bring whatever you need for your shoot, just ensure that you take proper precautions to ensure no damage is incurred to the studio. -Is there an elevator? We are located on the 2nd story and does not have elevator. There's a driveway leading to our suite, that you can pull up to in case you need to load material and gear. -What is the maximum number of people permitted? Rental rates are based on a maximum of 15 people on the premises at once. For larger groups please inquire with your needs for availability/rates. -How does natural light change throughout the day? The most even natural light occurs between 11-3pm. In the morning the light is plentiful but is direct and does create window projections on the floor in front of the shooting space. Please plan accordingly. {PLEASE NOTE} Smart Train does pass by on train tracks every hour. Noise is unnoticeable.

Lovely natural light space with plenty of light modifiers for diffusing direct light if needed. Early morning is best for direct light if you want to take advantage of window pane frame shadows. Lots of boxes, fabrics and and reflective foam core flats if needed. Window covering in the alcove is fixed (tacked) to the frame so there is no way to open the curtains effectively. But this is a tiny minus. Great parking and access and we actually found differing color light temperatures in different parts of the studio which can work to your advantage if you work with color in any detailed way. Overall great space and combination of props. Would easily shoot here again.

This little gem is perfect for fine art photoshoots. It has a lot of character, plenty of light, and it's color neutral. It's close to highway and has plenty of parking. The area is very safe. Communication with Tanya was excellent. Highly recommend!
