Check out the Balara Content House in Quezon City
Located in the heart of Quezon City, Balara Content House fosters a collaborative atmosphere where ideas flourish, and visions come to life. The brainchild of photographer Jay Jay Lucas and his wife Feliz, they opened their doors in the middle of the pandemic, offering ample space that complies with the then-restrictions of the "number of allowable people to the size of the venue" ratio.
Being creatives themselves, they understood the importance of having a spacious workstation that is pleasant and uncluttered. They subscribed to the Japandi aesthetic, characterized by light, airy, and minimalist features. Since this isn't their first rodeo—they also own Lucas Studios. They've already anticipated their clients' needs with creature comforts, hence, a robust equipment list, strong Wi-Fi, sufficient air conditioning, and even a café that serves coffee and pasta.
Taking inspiration from the Warner Bros. Studios, the couple was keen on building a space where there are multiple areas to explore. Each boasting a distinct look, the content house aims to inspire limitless creativity with its array of nooks and crannies. Check them out below:
Magnolia Gallery
The largest of the spaces, Magnolia Gallery, is a 160 sqm studio with abundant natural light and huge windows. It can fit up to 120 people, and you can even book this as an events space! Fun fact: This was where Julia Barretto celebrated her 25th birthday.
Calea Suite
The cozy Calea Suite perfectly exemplifies the Japandi aesthetic. A luxe yet zen area, it features a wood-paneled accent wall, hygge-approved plush sofas, and bright interiors.
Lunch Box
For a classic blank canvas, you can book the Lunch Box. It is an entirely white space where your imagination can take centerstage.
Flexi Studio
The Flexi Studio is a bright, contemporary space that can act as a co-working space as well. It is equipped with audiovisual features, making it an excellent spot for recording podcasts.
Glass House
The Glass House is reminiscent of a full-on IG-worthy home with a kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, and even a home office. You can even host dinners and hold your wedding prep here.
Front Yard
Looking for an outdoor area? The Front Yard is a lush slice of green in the city. Whether looking for natural light to illuminate your shoot or a breezy expanse to host your event, it's the perfect option for your al fresco needs.
Humble
The smallest of their offerings, Humble still offers quite the punch despite its compact size. Packed with Instagrammable corners, you're still sure to get a lot of unique content for your feed.
Patio
Not one to waste space, the content house's Patio can also be exclusively rented and set up to a look you fancy. With a skylight and artificial grass, it can also transform into a weather-proof picnic brunch area.
No shoots lined up, but still want to visit this inspiring space? Keep a lookout on their Instagram and catch details of their next The Black Yard event. It's a speakeasy pop-up that offers a unique outdoor bar experience. You can expect a night of flowing cocktails, delectable bites, and smooth jazz together with other creatives.
Balara Content House is at 704-D Road 3 Matandang Balara, Quezon City. For more information, visit Balara Content House's Instagram account.
