Studio B Events

Studio B is a 1,400 sq-ft blackout studio on the 8th floor of our Santee Street building — a room built for complete light control, which makes it a dramatic setting for evening events. Full blackout curtains over two north-facing windows, a ceiling-mounted lighting grid, an 18′ × 18′ white cyclorama wall, and 12-foot ceilings let you shape the room from pitch dark to fully lit. It’s a moody, controllable backdrop for screenings, product launches, cocktail events, listening parties, live performances, and presentations.

Planning a photo or video shoot instead? Book at production rates on the Studio B page — both listings share one availability calendar, so the space is never double-booked.
