Loft 155 — Venice Industrial Loft Filming Location with Rooftop Murals for Productions

Loft 155 feels like a Venice filming location that can genuinely carry more than one scene in a day. The ground floor has the volume and texture of an early 20th-century industrial loft, with red brick, worn plaster, concrete and a long open span. Upstairs, the mood turns brighter and cleaner with skylit office space, then opens to rooftop terraces with murals, turf, palm views and the kind of alley access that gives productions a gritty exterior approach when they need it.

Industrial Loft Filming Space

The main loft is a long, mostly open hall with a high white ceiling, dark concrete floor and a full run of red brick on one side. Across from it, the white plaster breaks away in irregular patches to reveal more brick underneath, so the surface has a lived-in warehouse quality rather than a dressed set feel. Track lighting, exposed conduit, sprinkler lines and oversized black ceiling fans keep the industrial character consistent on camera. A wooden stair leads up to a shallow mezzanine with ornamental iron railing, which is useful for overhead angles and looking back through the length of the room. The space works especially well for music videos, commercials and still shoots that need depth, movement and textured backgrounds without rebuilding an industrial environment.

Skylit Office and Support Rooms

Upstairs, the property shifts into a clean creative office look. White walls, gray wood-look floors and exposed white services keep the rooms neutral, while desks and rolling chairs make it easy to play as an active workplace. There is also a simple kitchenette with white base cabinets, a stainless sink and refrigerator, plus an adjoining bathroom with a bathtub, white tile, a vanity and a window with blinds. This is the brightest interior area on the property. Large glass doors facing the rooftop push strong side light across the floor, and the overhead skylights add softer top light through the open office spaces. When the sun moves, the rooms still hold natural brightness from above. By contrast, the brick hall below is the more controlled filming location option, with limited end glazing and ceiling-mounted track fixtures.

Rooftop Photo Shoot Backdrops

Black-framed sliding doors take you straight from the office to a generous concrete rooftop terrace. Tall brick perimeter walls are covered with large octopus, figure and graphic murals, creating an enclosed urban backdrop with enough distance for lateral movement and longer frames. String lights cross overhead, and low wooden tables with benches can ground a dining, gathering or lifestyle setup without taking over the deck. The terrace wraps around a dark corrugated-metal enclosure, which creates a narrower passage that can read like a private service lane. Another raised outdoor area is finished in vivid artificial turf beside the building’s arched commercial facade. From the more open edges, you get palm trees, neighboring rooftops and the active Venice streetscape, so crews can move between contained mural angles and wider city context.

Alley Access and Production Planning

The open hall, mezzanine stair and upper workspaces are all connected, with sightlines from the railing down the full length of the loft. The rooftop doors give productions a clean interior-to-exterior transition, while the separate alley entrance leads into an enclosed utilitarian stair with white walls, exposed pipes and caged lighting. The alley itself has brick service elevations, loading doors, utility lines and dumpsters, which makes it useful for a grittier arrival shot or transitional coverage. Productions can coordinate permits with FilmLA and plan arrival and staging through Venice, with ample parking options nearby to support crew movement. For blocking, the broad rooftop and main hall offer the most working depth, while the alley stair is better suited to compact units, entrances and quick connective scenes.
