Important to note

  • Cush Studio also doubles as Reioni’s workplace, she creates upstairs on the mezzanine (read more about it here). She will be available to you when she’s around but you’ll need to (phone) call her as she won’t be able to hear you through her noise canceling headphones (She can’t work without them!). 

  • Speaking of noise. You’re welcome to play music and have a good time, just please be mindful of our neighbours. Due to our close proximity to others and that we are located in an industrial area we can’t guarantee complete silence. Just something to be mindful of if you are planning on filming.

  • Think of this space as an Air bnb. Clean up your mess, put everything back where you found it and it will all be hunky dory and we won’t need to charge you our clean up fee.
