On 19th September, we close the doors and hand the Haus over to the builders.
When we reopen in October, Havana will still feel like Havana- just more flexible, more functional and much easier to create in.
First Look is for the people who want to be closest to what happens next.
You’ll get an extra 72 hours to book at our current rates after public bookings close, first access to Open Haus, the first finished reveal of Havana Haus 2.0, and access to our founding podcast rate.
After three years of shooting in Havana Haus, we know exactly where the studio can work harder.
Downstairs, the fixed cyclorama is coming out and being replaced with a more flexible setup, alongside new permanent shoot-ready spaces. The goal is simple: more variety within one booking, less time spent rebuilding the room before you can start creating.
We’re also introducing a new hero set designed around the light that already makes this building so good to shoot in. More texture, more depth and another completely different look within the one Haus.
Upstairs, we’re knocking down the wall between the two rooms and rebuilding the podcast + content studio properly. More room for guests, cameras and lighting, and a setup designed for filming as much as recording.
And some of the parts of Havana you already love are staying.
This isn’t a completely different studio for the sake of something new. It’s three years of real shoots, client feedback and my own experience as a photographer being put back into the space.
We close on 19th September and reopen in early October.
Public bookings at our current Havana Haus rates close on 19th September. First Look gets another 72 hours to book before Havana Haus 2.0 pricing goes live.
We’ll release 10 founding bookings for our rebuilt podcast + content studio at a rate we won’t offer again.
Come through Havana Haus 2.0, have a drink, see what we built and enjoy a completely legitimate stickybeak before remaining spots are released publicly.
I built Havana Haus after years of hiring studios and constantly thinking, why would they do it like this?
So when I finally built my own, I designed it as a photographer first.
I wanted a studio that could move with the shoot. Somewhere you could create more than one look without packing up and changing locations. Somewhere photographers had room to light properly, move things around and actually use the space in different ways.
Three years later, I’ve watched thousands of hours of shoots happen inside Havana Haus.
I know what people naturally gravitate towards.
I know what works.
And I know exactly what still annoys me when I’m shooting here myself.
So this renovation isn’t me getting bored and buying new furniture.
It’s three years of real shoots, client feedback and my own experience as a photographer being put back into the business.
We’re fixing the things that slow shoots down, creating more ways to use the space and making the whole Haus work harder.
It’s still Havana.
Just more flexible, more functional and a little more grown up.
Can’t wait to show you.
