Studios at Walnut

Studios @ Walnut is a distinctive creative studio community in Pasadena that blends historic industrial character with flexible live/work appeal. Originally reimagined from three 1940s industrial buildings, the property was transformed into twelve uniquely designed studios for artists and creative entrepreneurs seeking adaptable, inspiring space.

With the City's encouragement, the live/work use was established in 2002 to enable the adaptive reuse of industrial space, allowing a creative mix of residents to live in spaces suited to their needs. Typical residents have included musicians, architects, photographers, writers, entertainment industry professionals, and other creative professionals.

Each studio offers striking architectural features, including fifteen-foot ceilings, steel casement windows, concrete floors, and open floor plans that create a bright, expansive environment ideal for creative work and comfortable living.

Set in Pasadena’s Lamanda Park neighborhood, Studios @ Walnut offers convenient access to the 210 Freeway and is less than a mile from the Sierra Madre Villa Metro station, making commuting simple. The property also offers views of the San Gabriel foothills and is near extensive hiking trails, with everyday essentials, cafés, restaurants, and shopping nearby.
