About this space

A finished 32 by 39 stage on the upper level: charcoal walls, dark wood plank floor, track lighting, exposed beams, and a marble feature wall that gives you a look without dressing anything. A glass-fronted control room opens straight onto the floor, so a director, a mixer, or a client can sit off set and still see everything. That makes it the room for anything with a live mix or a monitored take: talk formats, multi-camera podcasts, streams, interviews, and music video. Ceiling height is 10 feet, so take the cyc or Stage C if you need to build tall.
