Unique Studio with Dramatic Vault Door Aesthetic.
tl;dr
- Space
- Unique Studio with Dramatic Vault Door Aesthetic is a 95 sqm (1,027 sq ft) basement level content studio in Chinatown on Chicago's Near South Side, built around a steel vault door set into dark textured walls for a moody industrial look. The space is move-in ready and offered as a short-term rental for shoots and small brand activations.
- Best For
- Strongest fit is video production and music video shoots needing a hard edged set, followed by streetwear and accessories campaign photography, full day content studio sessions across multiple looks, compact fashion showroom and buyer preview appointments, and small guest list product launches for up to 11 attendees. All five formats are supported under a single day hire.
- Standout Features
- The vault door set measures 12 ft wide by 10 ft high by 7 ft deep and holds crews of 2 to 8 on set, with seven further styled scenes on the same floor bookable for multi look content days. Also included and vetted by Fashion Week Venues: the Lux Lobby for talent holding, glam and behind the scenes capture, a five colour backdrop bay in black, white, grey, red and blue, fitting rooms with garment rails and a stock room for sample handling, plus lighting, sound and video equipment, elevator load in and on site parking.
- Location
- Cermak Chinatown on the CTA Red Line is roughly a 7 minute walk east, with Archer Avenue bus routes 2 minutes from the door and Interstate 55 access under 5 minutes by vehicle in the 60616 district. The immediate street is a working commercial stretch of markets, bakeries and restaurants, quiet enough for daytime load in and easy for guests to find on arrival.
- Availability
- Minimum rental is one day at a published day rate of 54 USD (about 47 EUR), and you can book by the day or by the week with no maximum term. Allow 2 to 3 weeks lead time in Chicago, longer across October market and campaign season when studios in this district typically book out first; the additional styled scenes and extended crew access are priced on request and brief based.
- How to Book
- Enquire through Fashion Week Venues with your shoot or activation dates and we confirm availability within 24 hours, with no charge until confirmed. Permit paperwork, on site staffing and fit out coordination are handled by our team on the brand's behalf, so request availability now to hold your dates.
