Good to know

Access and logistics

How many people can the space hold?

Up to 60 people at a time. That is room for a full crew with talent and clients, or for a seated or standing event.

Where do trucks and equipment go?

Load in through the bay on Abbott Street, or through the main double doors, which are 11 feet wide and open onto both Water Street and Abbott Street. There is no on-site parking, and a few commercial spots on Abbott are first come, first served. Gastown is a busy shooting neighbourhood and most crews arrive with their own parking plan. We are glad to talk through load-in before you book.

How do people get to the bedroom and wardrobes?

They are on the mezzanine, reached by a stair or by the elevator inside the showroom.

Can we visit before booking?

Yes. Visits are by appointment, and the best way to judge the space is to walk it with your camera person or producer.
