Basecamp DTLA
Custom black concrete floors
About our studio
Set in the heart of downtown Los Angeles’ Fashion District, this expansive 8,000 square foot gallery showroom occupies a historic 100-year-old former textile building, blending industrial heritage with a refined, modern brutalist aesthetic. The space is defined by glossy black reflective floors, moody grey concrete walls, and soaring 11-foot ceilings, creating a cinematic atmosphere that feels both elevated and adaptable. Natural daylight pours in, softening the bold architectural elements and making it equally suited for high-fashion shoots, gallery exhibitions, or immersive brand environments.
Functionality is built into every detail. A passenger and freight elevator provide seamless access, while a dedicated loading dock supports efficient production logistics—ideal for film crews, large-scale installations, or event builds. Two restrooms and an open, flexible floor plan allow the space to effortlessly transition between uses: from photography studio to rehearsal space, from yoga sessions to weddings, from fashion showroom to full-scale production basecamp. It’s a rare intersection of creative freedom and operational practicality.
Above it all, a massive 9,000 square foot rooftop patio offers a striking extension of the experience—an open-air canvas with sweeping city views, perfect for events, activations, or sunset-driven content creation. The juxtaposition of historic architecture and contemporary design gives the entire property a distinctive identity: raw, elegant, and unmistakably Los Angeles. This is not just a venue—it’s a versatile creative platform designed to elevate any vision brought into it.
