Welcome to your creative home.

At SOBU, we’ve intentionally designed every space to be versatile, inspiring, and shoot-ready - so you can focus on what you do best: creating, connecting, and capturing what matters.

Every booking includes access to every corner of the studio, so you can create, style and shoot your way. Whether you’re building a brand, leading a team, or telling a story - here’s how you can make the most of our spaces.

THE DOWNSTAIRS STUDIO

  • Flooded with natural light and framed by polished concrete floors, raw industrial ceilings and sleek styling - the downstairs studio is everything a traditional studio should be, and more.


    Perfect for editorial shoots, product photography, social content, client shoots, workshops and intimate events - it’s styled, flexible, and intentionally beautiful.

    What’s included:

    • Polished concrete floors

    • Full height industrial concrete walls and also smooth & textured white wall options

    • Bespoke built in seating area - perfect as a styled backdrop, and as a client seating area for a premium shoot-day experience

    • Architecturally designed staircase with large skylight above for beautiful natural light

    • Stylish changing room with mirror + clothes rack

    • Moveable furniture, props + styling accessories

    • Full-length curtains for light control and styling

    • Direct roller door access for easy bump in and out

    • 2 parking bays directly in front of studio

    • Full access to upstairs, podcast room, and balcony included in your booking

    READY WHEN YOU ARE

THE UPSTAIRS STUDIO

  • The Upstairs Studio is a beautifully curated open-plan space designed to look like multiple rooms in one seamless setup. Kitchen, dining, living, workspace - all styled with intention, all camera-ready from the moment you arrive.

    Each ‘scene’ has been created to give your content variety and depth, without needing to move through multiple rooms or rearrange a single cushion. It’s one space - but when you see your content, it’ll feel like five.

    And while it’s perfect for creators, it’s just as powerful for business owners. Hosting a team off-site, a strategy day, or a client masterclass? The upstairs space flows like a beautifully styled home, not a studio set - so it still feels elevated and cohesive, even when you're not behind the camera.

    Better still, it opens onto a large, private balcony - one side styled for dining, the other for lounging - giving you even more shoot-ready options and space to breathe. Outdoor content without leaving the studio? Rare. Gorgeous. Game-changing.

    Whether you're filming Reels, capturing campaign visuals, launching a product, or workshopping your next big move, the upstairs space is effortless, light-filled, and full of personality.

EVENTS AND WORKSHOPS

  • Sobu was designed for more than just content. It’s a backdrop for beautiful gatherings, intentional workshops, intimate celebrations, and curated experiences that leave an impression.

    Think:
    A product launch with a yoga session + styled breakfast

    A seasonal shoot day takeover - photographers, make Sobu your own for festive minis or milestone shoots

    An elevated birthday lunch, engagement, baby shower or modern micro-wedding

    A brand-building panel or speaker series (on a smaller, chicer scale)

    A sun-drenched space to finally meet your online community IRL for a heartfelt masterclass, connection-filled workshop, or celebration that gives back to your customers

    It’s for people who want the feel of a large event - but the intimacy, creativity, and connection of something more personal.
    No hotel carpets. No fluorescent lights. Just a styled, sunlit studio that adapts to your vision.

    A few things to note:

    • All events at SOBU are self-styled and self-managed. You’ll have full access to the space, and the freedom to bring your own dream team.

    • If you're looking for support - whether it’s catering, florals, photography or furniture hire - our Content Concierge page has a curated list of local vendors who can help bring your vision to life. (These are external suppliers, so all bookings and coordination happen directly with them.)

    • To make sure every event at SOBU is aligned and seamless, bookings are handled individually. You won’t find event hire in our online calendar - just fill out the Contact form or email us directly and we’ll talk through the details together.

    • Event hire is currently available 7am–7pm, Monday to Saturday

    • Sobu is perfect for small-scale events (think 5–30 guests depending on your setup)

    LET’S MAKE YOUR DREAM A REALITY

PODCAST ROOM

  • Tucked upstairs, the podcast room is your private creative zone - perfect for recording, filming, meetings or just taking a moment away from the action. Designed to be self-serve and adaptable, it's styled as a modern office with a skylight overhead and a calm, elevated vibe.

    • Planning to podcast? Just give us a heads-up and we’ll have the mics ready for you.

    • Not recording? Use it as a workspace, client meeting room, prep area, or even a host green room during events.

    It’s also the perfect private space for getting ready before a special occasion - bridal touch-ups, outfit changes, or just a moment of quiet before you hit record or walk out.

    Self-serve, with support if you need it.
    This space is DIY and doesn’t include an onsite tech for podcast recording. If you’d like help recording, we can connect you with external pros you can book separately via our Content Concierge. That way, you stay in control - with support when you want it.

    RECORD IT. FILM IT. LAUNCH IT. HERE.
