The Temple House

The Temple House is a private event venue and film, photography and production studio at 1415 Euclid Avenue in South Beach, Miami Beach. The Art Deco building was designed by L. Murray Dixon and served as a synagogue before Daniel Davidson bought and restored it in 2003. A permanent 360-degree projection mapping system covers the main room’s walls and ceiling, and the venue hosts product launches, corporate events, fashion shows, Art Week events and weddings alongside commercials, music videos and photo shoots. According to The Temple House, it was the main venue for One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” music video, and its clients include HBO, LVMH, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Red Bull and Jennifer Lopez.
