Meeting location, workshop space, photo/​film studio, or simply a place to hang out, exchange ideas, or be on your own.

How to join

Studio Membership

For people who need the studio regularly and want to help carry the place.

Members share the studio, the equipment and the running costs. You book the days you need in our calendar — first come, first served, paid work takes priority. Anything without a plug is free to use.

There are three levels, depending on how often you are here. For bigger productions the studio fee is invoiced through Fuchsbau and shared between you and the space.

Friends & Family

An invitation only rate for young photographers and creatives.

It exists so that free work, tests, editorials and very small jobs can happen in a real studio, without a client budget behind them. Half day or full day, equipment without a plug included.

One rule keeps it fair: as soon as you can invoice the studio to a client, talk to us before booking. We will sort it out together.

Both run on our booking calendar, and both work by invitation. Write to hello@fuchsbau.studio and we will set you up.
