About the Space

Step into a fully-preserved 40s–70s vintage time-capsule estate in Encino. This multi-structure compound offers two distinct looks in one location: the main house with warm mid-century textures and a separate back-house cabin that reads like a rustic artist retreat. Every room is styled with authentic period furnishings, rich wood tones, character fixtures, and layered detail that cameras love. MAIN HOUSE The main home features vaulted ceilings, custom wood wainscoting, and a striking live-edge wood-mantle fireplace that instantly frames scenes. The burnt-orange tile kitchen opens directly to the backyard through Dutch doors, creating seamless indoor → outdoor flow for camera movement, natural light, and staging flexibility. Multiple vignettes allow a variety of looks without changing location. BACK-HOUSE CABIN (SECOND STRUCTURE) The detached two-story cabin feels like a mountain getaway tucked behind the garden, complete with wood paneling, built-in desks, his/hers bathrooms, walk-in closets, and two garages. This space works for artist character homes, hideouts, therapy scenes, rehearsal rooms, music videos, writer spaces, or green rooms / staging. It truly gives you two filming environments in one booking. OUTDOOR SPACES Beautiful rose garden landscaping, mature greenery, and a pool with covered pergola create a lush, private, and cinematic setting. The large covered patio works as a weather-safe outdoor shooting stage, client lounge, catering zone, or glam/hair-makeup station. The backyard was designed to support movement, lifestyle, fashion, commercial, and narrative scenes.

    Jenny was so amazing from accommodating our request last minute as well as pivoting with the changes on our production, she was a team player and did it all so kindly. Jenny was such a great service to the whole crew, really rad place to shoot with 70s vibes and super cool van! I would definitely recommend this place and shoot here again!

    We had an excellent time filming at the Swanky Time Capsule. Jenny was super helpful and easy to work with. The property was perfect for supporting a crew comfortably, as well as offering a wealth of settings and props for filming.

    This space was perfectly curated and perfectly managed! No Notes! Would highly recommend for anybody hoping to capture the essence of the 70s/80s.

    The spaces were great. A lot of places to get great content. The only thing I would say was that it was a little uncomfortable having the owners there cooking dinner while we were shooting. It was awkward and made us want to quit and hour and a half earlier than we had paid for. Other than that it was great. I feel like if you are paying for the space, you should have it until the shoot is up.
