About this space

Tucked into a quiet pocket of Sydney’s Northern Beaches, La Villa offers a rare kind of creative escape—an immersive Mediterranean-style space that feels worlds away from the typical studio setup. Conceptualised by Rosie Zofrea of Inside Out Real Estate Styling, this location redefines the idea of shoot studios with a visual language rooted in warmth, texture, and architectural beauty.

Flooded with north-facing natural light, La Villa is a carefully composed backdrop for brands and creatives who want more than just a white box. Its cobblestone floors—laid in crazy-pave travertine—immediately set the tone, evoking Italian laneways and sun-drenched villas. High ceilings create volume, while arched doorways and nooks frame scenes with sculptural softness. Textured walls and soft tonal variation add dimension across every surface, making the space highly shootable from every angle.

The Mediterranean influence runs through every detail, from the pale marble accents to the curated furnishings available on-site (with access to a full warehouse of latest-season styling pieces for an additional fee). The layout encourages a natural flow between zones—ideal for photoshoots, intimate events, content creation, wellness classes, and brand activations that lean into mood, feeling, and place.

Whether you’re hosting a full-day fashion shoot or leading a workshop that calls for visual impact, La Villa offers more than aesthetics—it offers atmosphere. It’s a considered, sensory-rich environment that invites expression and delivers the kind of escapist feel today’s audiences respond to.

Set in Northern Beaches Council and designed with intentional versatility, La Villa stands out as a refined alternative to typical warehouse studios. Every corner has been styled to feel timeless, cinematic, and transportive—ideal for teams looking to produce content that feels both aspirational and grounded.
