1. CASA BONA
What we love
High-end aesthetic/design fully furnished lifestyle studio
Natural light
Location and amenities
Private, spacious.
Casa Bona is a spacious and dimensional space boasting lots of visual intrigue. I admore the many angles and vingettes you can use. It is a warm toned, bright space perfect for brands that desire to tell a story. It also has a mini kitchen and private washroom.
Things to consider
This is a very warm toned space. If a brand is minimal cool toned it wouldn’t be a good fit.

2. MararaMIRo Studio
What we love
Cozy, homey feel
Natural light
Location & amenities
Mararamiro studio has a very defined aesthetic - this homey fully furnished space may align with you if you’re going for a lifestyled space with lots of warm woods and worldly pieces. It also has nice amenities like sound system, private washroom, and mini kitchen.
Things to consider
This space best suits groups of 8 or under, especially if part of that 8 is a HMUA team.
Paid street parking only
Studio runs warm

3. STUDIO PLUS FOUR
What we love
Spacious and minimal, partial furnished
Cyclorama wall + Lifestyle wall
Natural light
Their studio is a great fit for both personal and commercial work as they are spacious and come with the basic amenities of washrooms and makeup stations. It’s a versatile space you can transform into your own making it easy to introduce your own personal branding elements for a customized look.
Things to consider
Best suited for minimal commercial shoots as opposed to lifestyle

4. ICON STUDIO
What we love
Lifestyled rooms and cyc wall
3 styled rooms to choose from
Big windows for natural light
Gear inclusions and add ons
Sometimes all you want is that blank canvas studio AND a little lifestyled look too. They offer both. We love how they have options.

5. Fieldwork studio
What we love
Spacious and minimal
Natural light
Factory charm, lots of character

6. Mint Room Studios
What we love
Easy to book/minimal time commitment
Simple setting multiple studios with optional furniture
Reliable soft natural light
Mint Room Studios offer several studio rooms within their vicinity. This very busy venue has a system of catering to small and large shoots alike - offering versatility. The only downside is that some of their studios are not completely private as in you can hear what’s going on in the next rooms (so you can’t play your music).
Things to consider
Oct-Jan they dress every studio in Holiday decor so not the best time to shoot brands (unless they’re Christmas related shoots).
Weekends often book in advance so make sure to book early.

A minimal mid-century modern styled industrial studio

Well lit

9. Crayon Studio
What we love
Windows and light
Fully furnished in mid-century modern vibe
Location/amenities
You can’t beat the light on this space if you love the look of factory windows. They also have a full-service kitchen. This lifestyled space is spacious enough to move things around to create custom vignettes.

Affordable and flexible for small or mid size projects, this space (although located on a top floor with no elevator) is a versatile, buildable backdrop for creative projects.
