What makes the space so stunning is the natural light from south west facing factory windows. The lush space also boasts 14ft ceilings, brick walls, wanescotting, an open loft kitchen with fridge and stove, bathroom, dining room, and bright living room decorated with unique vintage mid century furniture, Morrocan rug, mini fireplace library, and lots of harmonious neutral tones and textures from leather, to marble, art, books, white brick walls and exposed pipes, pottery, tall curtains, wood floors, plants, vintage decor pieces.
Furniture aside, you can utilize the white walls as a backdrop for a more simple set up. Furniture is destined to change position based on time of month as the space is transformative. Please inquire if you have any furniture layout requests, otherwise, you can expect a living room and dining room with the furniture featured, just perhaps in a different set up than featured.
The main living room is 16x16ft, and the kitchen/dining room/washroom is another 16x16ft. So it is a smaller space, photos are taken on iphone not to adjust dimentions. Small crew size only. 2021 I'll be moving to a bigger space so stay tuned!

OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE
*WINTER MONTHS*
UNIT IS HEATED BY RADIATOR PIPES AND THEY ARE HOT!!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DON'T TOUCH, LEAN THINGS AGAINST, THE PIPES! THE THERMOSTAT ALSO CONTROLS THE HEAT, PLEASE LEAVE AT 0 WHEN LEAVING.
*SUMMER MONTHS*
BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD BUILDING AND IT FACES SOUTH WEST, IT GETS GREAT LIGHT, BUT IT DOES GET ON THE HOT SIDE. There is a portable AC, it's not running all the time cuz electricity bill would be crazy. Turn on when you arrive, turn off when you leave.
LIGHTING
South West facing windows will get direct light from early afternoon to dusk. My personal fav lens for this space (as a natural light photographer) is a 35mm, and a 25-70mm. 50mm would work strictly for portrait. Unit is 14ft wide and 35 ft deep and photography is done on a 35mm.
COVID-19
