Located in the heart of Washington, DC’s Chinatown neighborhood, THE SPACE is a modern 12,000-square-foot blank-canvas venue designed to accommodate filmings, large-scale events, creative productions, and experiential activations. The venue was developed to fill a unique need in the DC market for a large, flexible, industrial-inspired environment that can easily transform to support a wide range of uses.

THE SPACE features soaring ceilings, exposed architectural elements, dramatic open floor plans, and a clean contemporary aesthetic that makes it ideal for film productions, commercial shoots, corporate events, brand activations, fashion shows, and private celebrations. The venue’s neutral palette and expansive layout allow production teams and event designers to fully customize the environment to match their creative vision.

One of the defining features of THE SPACE is its scale and flexibility. The venue can accommodate large guest counts, complex set builds, staging, and production equipment while maintaining clear sightlines and flow throughout the space. Large windows bring in natural light, while the open structure allows for dramatic lighting design and scenic transformations.

THE SPACE is operated by Brick & Mortar Venues, a Washington, DC–based hospitality group known for managing distinctive event spaces throughout the city. While the venue primarily functions as a premier event destination for corporate events, galas, conferences, product launches, and receptions, it was intentionally designed to support film and creative production with minimal restrictions and maximum adaptability.

Key location features include:
• Approximately 12,000 square feet of open event space
• High ceilings with exposed industrial architecture
• Flexible floorplan that supports multiple layouts and set configurations
• Street-level access for convenient load-in and load-out
• Large windows providing natural light and strong architectural character

The venue’s central downtown location also provides convenient access to hotels, restaurants, and public transportation, making it an attractive option for productions working within Washington, DC.

Filming Considerations

THE SPACE is available filming and production schedules, based on venue availability. Street-level load-in and loading dock access make equipment access straightforward, and the open interior allows for significant production flexibility. Productions requiring large builds, lighting rigs, or scenic installations can typically be accommodated. A freight elevator is available for loading to the second floor.
