The building combines exposed industrial detailing with a street-facing window display and full working production infrastructure. Best For Strongest fit for content creation and ecommerce or campaign shoots using the in-house video and recording equipment, followed by showroom presentations and buyer previews with wholesale appointments. Also suited to press days and influencer events, product launches with cocktail receptions, and creative workshops or masterclasses for up to roughly 360 guests. Standout Features Professional recording, video and office equipment included in the rental, so brands hire a move-in ready production environment rather than building one. Other differentiators vetted by Fashion Week Venues include a cargo entrance for set and rail deliveries, multiple entrances allowing separate guest and crew flow, a complete kitchen plus a fixed bar and counter for catered receptions, secure gated parking on site, and a street-level window display for temporary retail merchandising. Location Sited in West LA between Olympic and Pico in the 90064 district, roughly 15 minutes on foot from Metro E Line stops at Expo/Bundy and Westwood/Rancho Park, with Bundy Drive and Olympic Boulevard bus routes within 5 minutes. The immediate street is a low rise workshop and auto trade block, quiet and easy to load into by vehicle, with Trader Joe's, Starbucks and Federal Coffee inside a 5 minute walk for crew and guest arrivals. Availability Minimum one day rental, with the option to book by the week for longer production or showroom runs, and the day rate is on request with brief-based pricing tied to format, crew size and build requirements. We recommend six to eight weeks lead time in Los Angeles, extending to twelve weeks around awards season, market weeks and the Q4 campaign shoot peak when Westside studio space is heavily committed. How to Book Submit a brief through Fashion Week Venues and we confirm availability and hold dates within 24 hours, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, event staffing, security and fit-out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf. Request availability for 2255 Barry Avenue to secure your dates.", "activationIdeas": "This works as a turnkey e-commerce shoot location because the video and office equipment is already installed, so a PDP or lookbook day starts with rigging rather than unloading kit. Daylight across the 344 sqm floor gives you a soft natural set for on-model work, with the industrial walls doubling as a second backdrop for flat lay and detail frames. The cargo entrance takes rails and steamers straight in, and secure gated parking holds crew vehicles without street permits. Campaign and Editorial Shoot A strong editorial shoot option because the dedicated living space gives you a real hair, makeup and talent holding area instead of a corner of the set. Brands running campaign days in spaces like this typically run one main daylight set plus a second darker industrial set, with the complete kitchen handling crew catering for 15 to 25 people on site. Multiple entrances let talent and client arrivals stay separate from equipment movement through the cargo door. Video and Audio Production The strongest single argument for this space is that it is a working recording studio, so campaign film with clean sync sound, podcast episodes and voiceover can all be captured in the same booking. In practice the professional recording and video equipment covers the technical base without requiring an outside kit hire, and air conditioning plus a controlled interior keeps ambient noise and heat manageable across a full production day. Load in for grip and lighting trucks runs through the cargo entrance. SS/AW Seasonal Showroom Works well as a showroom rental for a Los Angeles market run because 344 sqm splits cleanly into three or four rail zones, a styling area and a seated buyer table without feeling sparse. The furniture is included, so most brands only add rails, mirrors and a branded reception moment, and where a collection needs custom fixturing our furniture rental team can fill the gaps. The window display gives the street a signal that the showroom is live for the season. Buyer Appointments and Wholesale Previews Credible for back to back wholesale appointments because the multiple entrances let you stagger arrivals so one buyer never walks into another's collection preview. Secure gated parking matters more than usual here given West LA buyers and agents drive between appointments, and the complete kitchen and bar cover hospitality across a six to eight appointment day. The living space works as a holding area if an appointment overruns, which it usually does on day one. Press Day and Media Preview A workable press day venue because the floor is large enough to hold a full collection on rails while still leaving a shootable corner where stylists and editors can photograph individual pieces. We would plan for 15 to 25 press and stylists on the floor at any one time across a rolling ten to six drop in, with the kitchen and bar handling coffee and a light lunch service. Set build and collection display are covered by our production and build team. Influencer Event and Creator Content Day Better than most event spaces for creator programmes because the in house video and recording equipment means talent leaves with finished assets rather than only attendance. Around 40 to 60 creators at a time is the comfortable working number, rotated through two or three content stations with the bar as the social anchor between takes. Talent booking, briefing and usage rights are handled through our influencer marketing service if you need the roster built. Product Launch and Cocktail Reception Suited to a launch with a reception because the fixed bar, counter and complete kitchen remove the dry hire catering build that usually eats a third of a launch budget. The headline capacity reads high, but in practice we would cap a standing reception here at 120 to 150 guests, since a single bathroom plus one additional water closet becomes the bottleneck above that. Multiple entrances allow a separate press arrival from the general guest flow. Creative Workshop and Masterclass Works for workshops and masterclasses because the kitchen, counter and furniture are already in place, so a hands on session for 30 to 40 seated participants needs almost no build. What makes this work for masterclass formats specifically is the video equipment and wifi, which let you record or livestream the session as owned content on the same day. Step free ground floor access and accessible facilities keep the guest list open, and gated parking covers attendees driving in. Art Exhibition and Gallery Showing A believable gallery showing space because the industrial shell and daylight give you a raw hang without needing to neutralise the room first. Across 344 sqm you can comfortably hang 25 to 40 works or stage a spatial installation, with the street facing window display acting as the teaser for passing traffic. One constraint worth flagging: light sensitive or screen based work will need blackout treatment on the daylight side, which is a straightforward addition on install day.", "neighbourhoodMood": "Post houses, music producers, ecommerce photographers and small production companies make up the working population of this stretch of West LA, and they are the reason a 3,700 sq ft recording facility on Barry Avenue reads as normal rather than novel. The blocks between Olympic and Pico either side of Bundy Drive are lined with low rise industrial units that have quietly converted into edit suites, prop houses, colour grading rooms, dance and rehearsal studios and the kind of unmarked creative offices that never put a sign on the door. Corinth, Butler, Purdue and Barry itself carry the same rhythm: auto body shops and coachbuilders next to a mixing stage, a furniture trade supplier next to an agency that services three streetwear labels. Federal Coffee on Olympic and Motoring Coffee near Sawtelle function as the informal meeting rooms for this ecosystem, and Sawtelle Japantown a few minutes east gives the area its only real destination retail energy. In our experience placing brands in this pocket, the crews and freelancers you need for a shoot or a press day already live and work within a ten minute drive, which is not true of most Los Angeles neighbourhoods on our browse all spaces shortlist equivalents elsewhere. Cost per square foot and total production control are why brands take West LA over the more obvious choices. Against the Arts District, Melrose Avenue, Abbot Kinney and the West Hollywood Design District, this address gives you a genuinely large furnished footprint, secure gated parking, a cargo entrance and working recording and video equipment for a fraction of what a comparable shell in DTLA costs once you add the build, the power drops and the parking solution. The tradeoff is honest and worth stating plainly: you do not get the address recognition of Melrose, the walk-by fashion crowd of Abbot Kinney, or the gallery adjacency of the Arts District. What you do get is a location that sits close to Santa Monica, Brentwood, Culver City and Beverly Hills, which matters enormously when your guest list is West Side based talent, agents and press who will not drive downtown at 6pm. The 10 and 405 are both minutes away and the Metro E Line at Expo/Bundy handles anyone arriving from Santa Monica or DTLA. Brands using this as a press day location or buyer appointment venue consistently tell us the frictionless parking outweighs the lack of street prestige, and our venue sourcing team will say the same before you tour it. Arriving on Barry Avenue feels like arriving at a working facility, not a retail street, and that is precisely the point for invite-only formats. Mornings bring delivery vans, mechanics opening roller doors and crew unloading gear, so a 7am call time with a cargo entrance and gated parking is completely unremarkable here. By mid afternoon the street quiets considerably, and evenings are close to empty apart from studios running late, which makes a cocktail reception or exhibition opening feel private and controlled with almost no ambient noise or unwanted attention. The window display gives you a merchandising surface and a way to signal the activation to guests who are searching for the door, but it will not generate passing interest, because the passers-by are tradespeople and residents from the apartment blocks south of Pico. The street dynamic works particularly well for content studio bookings, showroom presentations, workshops and controlled press days where discretion is an asset. Be clear on the limitation: this is not a neighbourhood for high volume temporary retail, spontaneous walk-in traffic or a sample sale that depends on foot discovery, and if street visibility drives your KPIs you should model that honestly with our ROI estimator before enquiring.", "faq": [ { "question": "Is this space available for pop-up shops?", "answer": "Yes, 2255 Barry Avenue is available for pop-up shops and temporary retail, and the street-level ground floor position with a window display is what makes that format work here. The 3,700 sq ft footprint gives you room to separate a merchandised sales floor from a back-of-house stock area without building temporary walls. Multiple entrances mean you can route customers through one door while crew and deliveries use another. In our experience handling bookings on West LA workshop streets like this one, brands treat the window display as the primary signage surface and drive traffic with paid and influencer activity rather than relying on passing footfall. If you want the space read as a branded environment rather than a studio, our branded store design" }, { "question": "What does Fashion Week Venues handle on my behalf for this booking?", "answer": "We handle the full booking chain for 2255 Barry Avenue, with concierge included at no extra cost to your brand. That covers negotiating dates and terms with the owner, issuing the temporary use agreement, confirming what the City of Los Angeles requires for your specific format, coordinating fit-out and furniture, and briefing on-site staff before doors open. Because the space arrives furnished and operational, our production input here is usually lighter than a raw shell and focused on branding, lighting adjustments and guest flow. We also manage load-in scheduling through the cargo entrance and parking allocation on the day. You deal with one account contact from first enquiry through wrap." }, { "question": "How large is the space and how many guests does it hold?", "answer": "The space measures 344 sqm, or 3,700 sq ft, all on the ground floor, with a working occupancy estimate of around 360 people for a standing reception. For a seated workshop or masterclass you should plan on 80 to 120 depending on how much of the floor you keep clear for production equipment. Press days and buyer previews rarely need the full capacity, and brands that hire this address for wholesale appointments typically zone it into three areas using the living space, the bar and the main floor. Ceiling character is industrial with daylight entering the ground floor volume, which suits both guests and camera work." }, { "question": "What equipment and furniture is included in the rental?", "answer": "The space is move-in ready and includes professional recording equipment, video equipment, office equipment and all furniture needed to operate it as a creative facility. Lighting is in place, wifi runs throughout the building, and air conditioning and heating are fitted, so you are not trucking in climate control for a Los Angeles summer date. There is a counter, a bar, a complete kitchen, a bathroom and an additional water closet, plus a dedicated living space that brands commonly use as a talent green room or a private buyer lounge. If your brief calls for a different aesthetic than the existing industrial furniture, we can layer in pieces through furniture rental" }, { "question": "What is the day rate for 2255 Barry Avenue?", "answer": "The day rate here is on request, and we quote on brief-based pricing rather than publishing a flat figure. Cost at this address moves with the length of your run, whether you need the recording and video equipment included or covered off, crew size, and whether you are holding an evening event with bar service. Send us your dates and format and we come back with a fully loaded number that separates venue cost from production, staffing and permit lines so nothing appears later. Brands scoping a Los Angeles budget before enquiring often start with our budget calculator" }, { "question": "What is the minimum booking period?", "answer": "You can book by the day here, and there is also the option to take the space by the week for longer showroom or production runs. Single day hires suit ecommerce shoots, press days and product launches, while a five to ten day hold works better for a sample sale or a market week showroom where you need install and strike time either side. In our experience with West LA studio addresses, brands underestimate strike and end up paying for a rushed final morning, so we build a half day of derig into every quote. Longer multi week occupations are possible and handled under a licence to occupy rather than a short lease." }, { "question": "How does load-in work and is there freight access?", "answer": "Load-in is straightforward because the space sits at ground floor street level and has a dedicated cargo entrance alongside multiple standard entrances. There are no lifts or stair carries involved, which is why brands moving rails, plinths, crates or lighting rigs into this rental find the install faster than a comparable upper floor Los Angeles space. Vehicles can be brought into the secure gated parking for unloading rather than blocking Barry Avenue. The surrounding block is a low rise trade and workshop street, so daytime vehicle movement is normal and unrestricted by retail pedestrian flow. Our production and build" }, { "question": "Is the venue accessible and is there parking on site?", "answer": "Yes on both counts: the property is handicap accessible and offers secure gated parking on site. Ground floor entry with no steps at street level means guests, buyers and press arrive without a lift or ramp workaround, which matters for a public facing brand activation. On-site gated parking is unusual for a space of this size in Los Angeles and removes the valet line item that inflates most Westside event budgets. A security system is fitted to the building, and every space we list is vetted in person before it reaches the marketplace so the access details hold up on the day." }, { "question": "What permit do I need to run a retail or event activation here in Los Angeles?", "answer": "For a temporary retail or event use at 2255 Barry Avenue you are generally looking at a City of Los Angeles temporary use approval plus a seller's permit from the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration if you are transacting, and an ABC daily licence if you are pouring alcohol at the bar. Because the space is already categorised for office, gallery, showroom, photography and event use, the approval path is shorter than converting a non commercial building. Sign changes to the street facing window and any structural fit-out are the two items that most often trigger extra paperwork, so flag them at enquiry stage. We prepare and file the documentation on your behalf, and you can read the format-by-format breakdown in our permit guide" }, { "question": "Does this space work as a showroom for buyer and wholesale appointments?", "answer": "Yes, this is a workable fashion showroom for hire, particularly for LA market appointments where buyers drive rather than walk between addresses. The gated parking is the deciding factor for wholesale appointment days, since buyers arriving by car can park on site instead of circling West LA streets. The dedicated living space gives you a private area for one-on-one buyer previews away from the main floor, and the complete kitchen supports all day coffee and lunch service without external catering. Brands running collection previews in this type of furnished space typically find they need only rails, a mirror wall and lighting adjustment on top of what is already installed." }, { "question": "Is it suitable for photo shoots, video production and content creation?", "answer": "Yes, this is one of the stronger content studio options we hold in Los Angeles because it operates as a working recording and video facility rather than an empty room dressed as one. Natural daylight, industrial detailing and installed lighting give you multiple looks inside a single 3,700 sq ft floor, and the recording equipment supports audio content and podcast capture alongside stills. A short-term rental of one to three days covers most ecommerce and campaign shoots, with the living space doubling as hair, makeup and talent holding. The kitchen and two bathrooms mean a 20 person crew can work a full day without leaving site." }, { "question": "Can I serve food and drinks for a launch or cocktail reception?", "answer": "Yes, the space has a complete kitchen, a fixed bar and a counter, so catered receptions and cocktail events run here without a temporary bar build. Caterers work directly out of the kitchen, which cuts both cost and the footprint that a mobile setup would otherwise take out of your guest area. Alcohol service requires a daily ABC licence, arranged on request as part of the booking, and we coordinate that alongside your caterer and bar staff. In our experience with exhibition openings and launch receptions at addresses like this, the bar becomes the anchor for guest circulation, so we position product and photo moments away from it to keep the room moving." }, { "question": "What is the neighbourhood like and how do guests get there?", "answer": "The address sits in West Los Angeles 90064, on a low rise block between Olympic and Pico dominated by auto workshops, trade suppliers and small design businesses, which makes it quiet, easy to load into and free of retail congestion. Guests driving have gated on-site parking, and the Metro E Line stops at Expo/Bundy and Westwood/Rancho Park are roughly a 15 minute walk, with Bundy Drive and Olympic Boulevard bus routes closer. Trader Joe's, Starbucks, Federal Coffee and Motoring Coffee are inside a five minute walk for crew runs and guest arrivals. This is a destination location rather than a footfall location, so plan invitations, geo-targeted paid media and influencer marketing" }, { "question": "How do I enquire, and how quickly will I hear back?", "answer": "Request availability through the listing with your dates, format and rough headcount, and we reply within 24 hours with a hold and an indicative quote. There is no charge until confirmed, so a date hold costs you nothing while you finalise your brief internally. Once you approve, we issue a temporary use agreement, take a deposit and open the permit and production workstreams in parallel. We recommend six to eight weeks lead time for a Los Angeles activation of this scale, extending toward twelve weeks around awards season, market weeks and the Q4 campaign shoot peak when Westside studio space is heavily committed. Staffing for the floor, hosting and buyer greeting can be added at any point through our retail staffing" }, { "question": "What is the day rate?", "answer": "Rates are quoted on request — send your dates and use case through the inquiry card." }, { "question": "Is staging, branding and fit-out permitted?", "answer": "Yes. Fashion Week Venues runs the full production build — signage, fixtures, lighting, sound, catering and staffing — subject to venue rules. Include your fit-out brief in the inquiry." }, { "question": "What is included?", "answer": "Included on-site: daylight, industrial, lighting, living space, wc, cargo entrance, handicap accessible, multiple entrances." }, { "question": "How far in advance should we book?", "answer": "Fashion week windows book 6–10 weeks out. Off-season activations can be secured in 2–3 weeks." } ], "editorialFaqCount": 14, "city": "Los Angeles", "country": "United States", "postalCode": "90064", "lat": 34.0333909, "lon": -118.4459686, "areaSqm": 344, "areaSqft": 3700, "priceLabel": "on request", "priceEur": null, "coverImage": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-1.jpg", "gallery": [ { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-2.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-3.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, interior vi…" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-4.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, second inte…" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-5.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, third inter…" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-6.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, additional…" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-7.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, further int…" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-8.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, detail view" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-9.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, further det…" }, { "url": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/i/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926-10.jpg", "caption": "Recording Studio and Creative Space at 2255 Barry Avenue, 344 sqm, art exhibition, pop-up rental in Los Angeles, interior vi…" } ], "amenities": [ "daylight", "industrial", "lighting", "living space", "wc", "cargo entrance", "handicap accessible", "multiple entrances", "parking", "air conditioning", "bar", "bathroom", "complete kitchen", "counter", "furniture", "heating", "office equipment", "video equipment", "wifi", "ground floor street", "window display", "security system" ], "useCases": [ "art exhibition", "gallery showing", "showroom presentation", "product launch", "brand activation", "press day", "press event", "influencer event", "content creation", "photo shoot", "video production", "ecommerce shoot", "workshop", "creative workshop", "masterclass", "networking event", "corporate event", "team offsite", "private event", "cocktail reception", "exhibition opening", "pop up exhibition", "retail experience", "experiential marketing" ], "canonicalUrl": "https://fashionweekvenues.com/spaces/recording-studio-and-creative-space-at-2255-barry-avenue-c348e926" }
