Feel the Heat, Los Angeles
Sunset Boulevard is known for bringing the party, and is responsible for cultivating some of the most important moments in pop culture and music from the early ’60s to today. We love our sun-drenched neighborhood.
There's a lot to see and do around here, from the modernist architecture to exploring the eclectic artist-driven neighborhood:
- Grab an acai bowl from Juice Crafters or head up Silver Lake Boulevard to LAMILL Coffee for cold brew. If you're a night owl looking for some tunes, head to Los Globos for late-night beats, walking distance from our Sunset location.
- Need a little headspace? Check out Laurel and Hardy, a pocket-sized patch of grass that's five minutes away from the studio. Echo Park and the reservoirs are only a stone's throw away too.
- If two-wheels are better than four, the Los Angeles River bicycle path is nearby, with eight glorious miles through the Glendale Narrows to stretch your legs.

Silver Lake has two entrances: off Sunset, and down to the basement level via the elevator; OR via the parking lot.
Get directions via Google Maps.
Driving? We have limited free parking on site. Parking lot access is via the coded gate on Joseph F Farivar Driveway, on the corner of Reservoir and N Occidental.
We have limited valet parking Monday-Friday, 9:00-17:00. You may also park on Sunset Blvd which is metered.
- Parking is limited to 5 spaces so if you cannot secure a space in the lot, please find paid parking along Sunset Boulevard.
- Outside of these hours and at weekends, you may park in any available spot in the lot.
- If you are parking in the lot, show your booking confirmation on arrival to the valet attendant.
- If the lot is full, you’ll still be able to unload your gear at the door. It’s free of charge for Pirate customers and tipping isn’t expected.
- If a session goes past 17:00, the valet will find your studio and drop off the car keys.
Local buses include the 2, 4 and 704 at the Sunset/Silver Lake stop. You can also jump on these to get to our West Adams studio.
