The desk with the lake view
Every unit has a proper work desk, an ergonomic chair and fibre Wi-Fi that survives video calls. The view is a productivity risk we refuse to mitigate.
LAUNDRY ROOM
Free for residents, and the dryers actually dry. Small things, big weeks.
Weekly housekeeping
Same day, same team, on your preferred morning. Towels swapped, bed made, no notes about your desk chaos.
Gear storage
Camera cases, ski bags, hard drives — the locked gear room takes whatever the shoot brought. Code handed over in person.
For stays that outgrow a suitcase
A month is not a holiday and it isn't a lease either — it's the awkward middle where hotels stop trying and apartments want a two-month minimum. We built the residences for exactly that gap.
"Long-stay guests become part of the furniture — the good kind. They know the staff's names and the staff knows their coffee order."
The fine print, up front
Crews of 6+ get a dedicated contact, flexible checkout on shoot days and a notice board for call sheets. We've hosted five productions — references on request.
The producer and the remote worker
"Eight weeks, crew of nine, zero drama. The gear room took our camera cases, the desk took our call sheets, and the invoice matched the quote to the cent. In this industry that's a miracle."

Verified stay
"I came for six weeks of remote work and stayed eleven. The desk chair faces the lake, the Wi-Fi never blinks, and someone else deals with the bins. My home office has been formally downgraded."
