Preto Loft – Solarium - Mint Room Studios

About

Solarium

The Solarium is a beautiful studio addition to Preto Loft, inspired by light minimalistic tones, natural textures and soft fabrics. Bright white floors and ceilings create a contrast with black trusses and oversized New York loft-style windows. The room is filled with bright natural light throughout the entire day, from sunrise to sunset due to its South-facing windows. We’ve minimized the floor shadows in the room by raising the floors with a podium, added some greenery and curated unique modern furniture pieces to provide a variety of different vignettes.

STUDIO FEATURES

Dreamy cyclorama against the back wall—the perfect white backdrop in a naturally bright place.
A beautiful white podium with curtains on both sides that can be moved to cover the cyclorama or used as a backdrop against the creamy textured wall
A fresh white wall that is perfect for headshots and branding photography!
A white bench that can be used for standing against the large New York-style windows.

Current Installation

Solarium Winter

Welcome to the Solarium Winter Installation. The haven of elegance with suspended fabrics from the ceiling creates an ethereal canopy that envelops the entire space on the upper level of the room.

The fabrics will sway gently with the slightest breeze, adding a dynamic and fluid dimension to the setting. The room is bathed in a soft, diffused light that accentuates the contours of the structural flowers and casts gentle shadows on the floor.

This lighting scheme adds a dreamlike quality to the environment as if you’ve stepped into a fantastical realm where reality and imagination seamlessly intertwine. We will also have a suspended white flower arrangement on a branch. On one side of the room, a designated zone features a round tulip table. The table is adorned with a carefully arranged display of white candles, with each candle adorned with bows made of silk ribbons.
