Grass Room is located on Fourth Street in DTLA, just around the corner from Millwick, and directly across the street from Flora Chang. Unassuming from the outside, the venue is noticeable for its blue facade (which you’ll see on many buildings in the blossoming North Sea neighborhood) and its dramatic greenhouse roofline. It’s a short distance from the restaurants, boutique hotels, cafés and clubs that are making DTLA the most exciting place in Los Angeles; we’re just blocks from the Broad and MOCA, the Fashion District, Little Tokyo and the Arts District. 

Grass Room accommodates a range of events: whether you want a petite gathering for less than 50 or a ceremony and reception for up to 150 seated guests, you can do either in this modular, scalable venue and the experience will feel proportional and comfortable. Grass Room’s maximum capacity is 250 guests.

In 2017 we collaborated with engineers, craftsmen and artists to completely redesign and refurbish the building that is now Grass Room. Part of our mission was to limit the environmental impact of reconstruction. We took many of the materials freed up from the downsizing—lumber, steel elements, stairwells, flooring, even windows—and repurposed them into ceilings and walls, paneling, furniture and decorative elements. In its rebuild, the structure has tripled its energy efficiency and rendered its groundwater permeability to 100%.

Horticultural greenhouse roofs open, close, shade and ventilate to provide passive lighting, cooling and heating by taking full advantage of southern California’s sunshine and ocean breezes. Efficient, state of the art electric, plumbing and mechanical systems minimize energy use throughout the year. Valentine encourages and supports green events and can introduce clients to green planners, stylists and purveyors who use sustainable resources or employ sustainable practices.
