About the Space
An award-winning house ("Home of the Year" by San Diego Home & Garden 1986"), this is a one-of-a-kind, colorful and eclectic space, full of quirky surprises in every corner. Style: Eclectic disco meets mid century modern tropical. Perfect for: photo shoots, music videos, workshops, meetings. History: Over 100 years old, the house was built in 1906 by architect Michael Cramer. In 1980, it gets purchased by architect Rob Dickens (from Quigley and Associates - creators of many landmark properties throughout SoCal, including the new San Diego Library in downtown). Dickens spends the next few decades renovating every area, adding a post-modern twist. In 2020, a young married couple from Europe finally come across the house of their dreams and transform it into the funky universe it is today. Every space has a unique feel and different theme. Some of our favorite things that you may enjoy in our spaces: - Amazing natural light - Breakout areas - 10 person outdoor table - 6 person table in the sun room - Unique architectural details such as open-beam, coffered and circular ceilings, curved walls and arches - Plants everywhere - Quirky art - Colorful enclosed porch - Reading corner - Tropical garden with bamboo forest - Hot tub - Indoor/outdoor projector with screen (installed upon request) - BBQ - Separate deck area with swing chair and gas fire pit - Office room with 2 desks - AVAILABLE UPON ADVANCE REQUEST ONLY - 2 wood burning fireplaces Decor and some of the furniture can be adjusted as needed, upon request.

Ashley K. booked a photoshoot for 10 people
We had THE BEST time creating in this space. I am so grateful for Patti for allowing people like us to create in their home and for curating such a cool themed place for us. I am obsessed with the photos that we got and we all left feeling so happy and empowered. Everytime I leave I want to come back again. It is such an easy location to find and the hosts are lovely and very helpful. We will all for sure be back!

Sandra V. booked an off-site for 8 people
The house is amazing and the hosts went above and beyond to accommodate my needs to host my company team meeting. Highly recommend if you need a unique setting with plenty of space. Great for photo shoots too!
Dale M. booked a video shoot for 6 people
great setup. Footage looks great!
Rob O. booked a photo shoot for 3 people
We loved this PeerSpace aka Disco Church and would recommend it to anybody looking for a unique alternative for their event/photo/video needs. The owners know what a good vibe feels + looks like and it shows in the way they've curated/decorated their home.

The decor and aesthetics are amazing. The entire house is such a vibe. I’m docking 2 stars for the unprofessionalism at the end of our shoot. I originally requested to book the space for 1.5 hours only as that was all that I needed. Pati explained that it would not be worth her time to stay home on a Saturday night for less than a 3 hour booking. She offered a 15% discount and I booked the space - total came out to $487 total with the discount. Since we booked and paid for 3 hours, I let my photographer know that we would have more time than originally expected and we decided to shoot the majority of our engagement photos at the house. When we arrived, Pati gave a tour of the house and explained she would be upstairs but if we needed to take photos upstairs, she would move out of our way. I did not realize that she would be utilizing the spaces that were marketed in the photos (bedroom and office space and full bathrooms) but we decided to just shoot on the lower level (living room / dining room) of the space so we did not disturb her and her partner. We still got plenty of amazing shots. :) Anyway - we rented the space from 4:30-7:30, which is confirmed in my booking. A little after 6:45, Pati came into the space we were using and sarcastically said “I guess you didn’t only need the space for an hour.” I told her that I thought we had paid for 3 hours and she responded “ya, but with a 15% discount.” My photographer, fiancé and myself felt so uncomfortable, we quickly packed up our things and left the space early. I know it may seem like a small thing but we have had to cancel and reschedule and change so many things with our wedding due to covid. We were so excited for this experience and Pati’s snarky comments really put a damper on the experience. We would have been completely out by the end of our reservation at 7:30 - all she would have needed to do was wait an additional 40 minutes. Overall, I would recommend booking the space but I wanted to share my experience with the host.

The space has an abundance of natural light, the decor is so unique, and I wish I lived here! It ended up being one of those rare rainy and thunderous days in San Diego but I was still able to utilize the gorgeous outdoor areas in addition to the interior of the house. The host was super accommodating and gave the photographer and I privacy while we shot.

What an awesome space! Used this space for a boudoir shoot (wedding present for my fiancé!) and I’m really glad we picked here! Pati and her husband were very welcoming and friendly. We had a great time here and would suggest it to others too!
