The Depot: Industrial Studio for Photo + Film

About the Space

Its two-tone palette a stark white expanse folding into deep graphite walls offers a natural contrast for crews, creatives, and producers alike. Exposed piping, poured concrete, and industrial textures keep it grounded in function, while the open layout allows for endless interpretation.
