65 m² all to yourself: a 48 m² studio in one piece, plus an office with a make-up spot, your own kitchen and a bathroom with shower — rentable by the hour for photo, video, podcast, lectures, workshops and small celebrations. One large open space instead of bolted-down sets — and if you like, the photographer stands next to you and helps build it.
Not an off-the-shelf studio where everything is bolted down. One large open space, two sofas you can actually work with, backdrops to swap — and a photographer who helps you set up, if you want.
48 square metres in one piece, floor-to-ceiling shop windows facing the street, a step-free entrance wide enough for unloading. Daylight in abundance — and when you do not want it, you draw the dark curtains and have the room entirely under control. There is deliberately no fixed set standing in your way.
Two genuine Chesterfield sofas in wine-red leather, plus two armchairs in the same tone, deep buttons, a round coffee table. The furniture that instantly makes everything look like a newsroom rather than a backyard. They stand on a low platform in front of the backdrop — pushed to the window you get warm daylight; with the curtains drawn it becomes a dark interview set. The most used thing in the house.
Paper rolls in several colours hang ready on the rail, plus a large white backdrop and the lighting we work with here every day: two strobes with softboxes, panel lights and a spot. Tell us beforehand which mood you need — bright and clean or dark and quiet — and the right one is already hanging when you arrive.
A separate room next to the studio: two ready-to-use workstations, one Mac, one Windows, both with a large monitor — you can simply plug in your own laptop. Plus a Canon 3-in-1 for printing, scanning and copying, a Bambu Lab 3D printer, a Cricut cutting plotter and the make-up spot with mirror. This is where people get made up, review footage, edit — and quickly build whatever is still missing on set.
Most studios hand you a key and disappear. Here the place belongs to a photographer and videographer — and you can book him along with it.
“I have been shooting photos and video myself for years. So if you need more than an empty room — someone to set the light, handle the sound or take backstage pictures on the side — just say the word. I am here anyway.”
Milen Lesemann · photographer & videographer, Kiezstudio Berlin
While you record, pictures for social media, press and cover art are taken alongside. You leave not only with the episode, but with the material around it.
on requestSeveral cameras, clean framing, everything matched. For video podcasts, interviews, company films — or as a recording of your lecture.
on requestMicrophones, levels, monitoring — someone listening while you talk. So the recording is right the first time and nobody has to patch it afterwards.
on requestSoft or hard, daylight added or shut out. Tell us how it should look — or show us a picture and we rebuild it as closely as what we have allows.
included in the handoverSeveral backdrops to swap between, set up and lit before you arrive. Tell us beforehand which mood you need — bright and clean or dark and quiet.
includedIf you want to do nothing but talk: space, equipment, recording, editing and finished files from one source. On request, never as a forced package.
on requestOne space, many lives. Click what you have in mind — the enquiry is then already filled in.
One large studio room, eight by six metres, with a wide entrance and an enormous window, plus an office with make-up spot, your own kitchen and a bathroom with shower. No through traffic, no shared toilet down the hall — the floor is yours for the day.
Four rooms, all part of the booking — and a studio that already holds everything you need for an ordinary shooting day. The full list is right below.
No shoes on the backdrop, windows closed after 10 pm, and we leave the neighbourhood the way we found it. There are no other rules.
All of this is in the house, you need to bring nothing. Power, Wi-Fi, kitchen, coffee and still water are always included in the rent. Lighting, backdrops and audio equipment come with the matching setup — which you choose in the configurator.
So you know how to plan in advance: 65 m² in total — 48 m² of studio in one piece, plus an office with make-up spot, your own kitchen and a bathroom with shower. All part of the booking.

This is the base rent for the space. Always included: power, Wi-Fi, heating, kitchen as well as coffee and still water. Lighting, backdrops and audio equipment come with the setup. Stay longer and you pay less per hour: from four hours we automatically apply the half-day rate, from eight hours the day rate.
Pick the base rent, add the setup, add people, done. The price adds up live — no sign-up, no waiting.
You get the room empty and set it up yourself. No extra charge.
Multiple choices possible. From a full day we charge a day rate instead of hours — cheaper than eight times the hourly rate.
Add the workroom means the office is yours for the whole time — Mac and Windows workstations with large monitor, work surfaces, printer with scanner and copier, 3D printer and cutting plotter, all included. Only materials are charged separately: filament for the printer and vinyl for the plotter by usage, price on request.
Neighbours, clubs, schools and everyone doing something for the neighbourhood: talk to us, we will find a price. Multi-day bookings and regulars get a discount anyway.
No booking portal, no sign-up, no account. One form, one reply, one key.
Fill in the form or call. Tell us the date, the time and what you have in mind — two sentences are enough.
We get back to you with availability and a fixed price. If you like, come by for a coffee beforehand and have a look around.
On the day itself: keys, a short handover, done. You do your thing, we are reachable by phone.
Room cleaned, heated, your set built, lighting checked, batteries charged, coffee made. All of this happens before you arrive and costs you not a single minute of your rental time.
Keys, a quick tour of the space, lighting and equipment explained, questions answered. After that the place is yours.
We are reachable by phone but not in your way. If you would rather have company — assistance is available.
Furniture back in place, rubbish in the bin, keys returned. The real cleaning is on us — you do not have to mop.
Cleaning, equipment back to standard, the set built for whoever comes next. That is why you find the space exactly as you expect it, every time.
A studio that adapts to you — not the other way round.
Most rental studios have a fixed set you have to take as it is — and pay for, whether it suits your idea or not. Here the floor is kept clear, and what gets built is what belongs to your booking.
You tell us what you have in mind when you enquire. In two sentences we work out how the room should stand for it — sofas to the window, backdrop swapped, floor cleared for thirty people. When you arrive, it is standing. And if it turns out on the day that something else looks better, we rearrange. Nothing here is bolted down.
Missing a prop, a sign, a mount for the camera? Next door there is a 3D printer and a cutting plotter. Let us know early enough and it is ready when you arrive.
Two sentences in the enquiry are enough. We tell you honestly what works well and what does not — instead of selling you something you do not need.
The setup happens before you arrive and costs you not a minute of rental time. You walk in and can start.
If things go differently than planned, we rearrange. Two people, five minutes — that is what the space is built for.

Of course, and we would prefer it. Drop us a line and we will arrange a time — usually the same or next day. Coffee is on us.
If the space is free, tomorrow works. For events with bar and sound we need a few days so we can rearrange.
Yes, the booked time is the time you are in the space. With half-day and full-day bookings you get 30 minutes of buffer for free, so nobody has to rush.
Free of charge up to 48 hours before. After that we charge half — unless you find another date, then we simply move it.
Normally Monday to Friday from 8 am to 10 pm, weekends by arrangement. Early shoots from 6 am are possible if you tell us in advance.
Always and at no extra cost: power, Wi-Fi, heating, the kitchen plus coffee and still water. Enough to start straight away.
The equipment — lighting, backdrops, microphones, projector — you add through the setup, depending on what you are planning. That way nobody pays for a podcast rig when they only need the empty room for a workshop. What each setup costs you can see in the configurator before you enquire.
Absolutely. There is plenty of power, including a 32 A connection. Let us know in advance if you are delivering heavy gear — then we keep the loading zone clear.
During the day almost anything goes, the room is well insulated. After 10 pm the windows stay shut and the music comes down — neighbours are neighbours.
Wi-Fi is there. If you are planning a live stream, tell us beforehand — then we test the line together in advance so there are no surprises on the day.
Karl-Lade-Strasse 36 in 10369 Berlin, in the Fennpfuhl neighbourhood in Lichtenberg. The “Karl-Lade-Strasse” tram stop is about 170 metres away; Landsberger Allee S-Bahn station on the ring line is roughly 700 metres, a good ten minutes on foot. By car you can pull up right at the door to unload; parking nearby is usually no problem.
Food and drink: gladly, the kitchen is ready. Dogs: yes, as long as they are relaxed — just tell us in advance.
Access is at street level and step-free, the toilet is largely accessible. Write to us about what exactly you need and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For the handover, yes. After that the space is yours; we are reachable by phone and a few minutes away. If you want company, book assistance as well.
By invoice after the booking, payable within 14 days. For events and larger bookings we ask for a deposit.
Yes, with VAT shown separately — for your bookkeeping, production accounting or funding application.
Yes, automatically. An hour costs €45; from four hours we apply the half-day rate (€160 for 4 h, i.e. €40/h) and from eight hours the day rate (€280 for 8 h, i.e. €35/h). You never pay more than the next larger package — the calculator always takes the cheaper option.
A weekend (€500) and a full week (€1,600) are considerably cheaper again than single days. For regulars and people from the neighbourhood there is more room — just ask.
