Workshop

Welcome to the First Floor

Our active woodworking and makerspace workshop offers a dynamic, industrial backdrop perfect for films, music videos, and documentaries. This versatile space is equipped for multi-material fabrication, including welding, plasma cutting, and industrial sewing.

With vintage tools, artifacts, and modern equipment, it’s ideal for set fabrication and period-specific projects. The workshop is designed with thick bunker walls and two large glass block windows, providing natural light while maintaining soundproof qualities, making it a great choice for documentary interviews.
