Mint Room Studios is located inside Junction’s Clock Factory Building at 300 Campbell Avenue, Units 300, 301 and 212.
The closest main intersection is Lansdowne and Dupont.

There is free street parking along Campbell Avenue, just south of the Mint Room Studios building. Please note that parking directly in front of the Clock Factory building has a one-hour limit on weekdays. If your photoshoot is longer than 1-hour Mon-Fri, we suggest that you park on Symington Avenue (west of Campbell), or on Campbell Avenue, south of Antler Street, or on Antler Street itself.

Please go to Unit 300 to check in and complete our general liability waiver.

We recommend arriving 15 minutes early so that you can check in with our attendant, get Wi-Fi details, and find out where our bathrooms and change rooms are located.

If your studio booking is in Unit 212, we suggest that only person comes to Unit 300 to check in and the rest of your party waits downstairs in Unit 212 for the attendant to open studio doors.

The freight elevator is for equipment only and is shared with the building which means it is available on a first-come-first-serve basis. Upon arrival, please call the on-site attendant at 647-977-2793 and they will be happy to assist you in calling the elevator and sending it to the desired floor.  If the attendant is not immediately available or attending to another guest, please allow them time to be able to assist you.  We suggest that you send us a note at [email protected] or give us a call prior to arrival with your expected time in order to avoid delays.

The size of the elevator is 4 x 7 feet.

For safety reasons, the freight elevator cannot carry passengers unless they are in wheelchairs, as it is “equipment only usage”. Visitors need to use the stairs to access the studios on the 2nd and 3rd floors.  A staircase behind Hale Coffee is a smaller staircase that may be easier to take with children.

Customers are responsible for loading and unloading their belongings into the elevator due to liability issues. 

Our friendly studio attendants are eager to assist you with any inquiries! You can easily find them behind the reception desk in Unit 300. 

If you need us to adjust the room temperature, borrow a heater or steamer, please let our attendants know and they will be happy to assist.

Our restrooms are located in the 3rd floor and 2nd floor building hallways.

Please grab a key by the studio entrance doors in Units 300, 301 and 212.

Preto Loft is located across from the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) at 213 Sterling Road, Unit 212.
The main intersection is Lansdowne and Bloor.

There is also free street parking along Perth Avenue and a paid underground parking lot across the street at 158 Sterling.

Mint Room Studio and Preto Loft are widely acclaimed for their captivating seasonal decor installations. These carefully crafted installations with designers and set to a specific section of the studio. Please note that these installations are only available for a limited time and exclusively showcased within the studios.

The months of October to January, are our highly anticipated Holiday Season and many of our studios receive a Holiday installation during this time period. 

You can view our past and upcoming installations on our Decor Set-ups page.

Once an installation is set up within the studio, it cannot be moved from its designated location. This placement is carefully curated by the designer to optimize lighting and positioning. Some setups may incorporate hanging features and decor pieces that are fixed in place, rendering relocation impossible.
