About this space

Onyx Coolum is a bold departure from the expected coastal aesthetic. Located on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, this newly built, shoot-ready home leans into a rich monochrome palette, offering an unexpected yet elevated backdrop for visual storytelling.

From the moment you enter, it’s clear this is a space designed with intention. The monochrome palette is perfectly counterbalanced by warm timber flooring, creating visual depth without overwhelming the frame. High-impact yet highly usable, every design choice here supports clean composition and uncluttered shots.

A standout feature is the home’s architectural use of light. Vaulted skylights in the kitchen, ensuite, and main bathroom shower allow soft, directional light to pour in throughout the day, making it easy to capture everything from moody stills to high-key portraiture without battling shadows. At 3 metres high, the ceilings give you ample breathing room to shoot from below or wide without spatial compromise.

The kitchen is a scene-stealer in its own right. Editorially styled with no upper cabinetry, it features a full-height natural limestone splashback and a statement hoodfan – details that lend textural interest while keeping lines clean. Whether you’re shooting flat lays, content reels, or lifestyle moments, this zone offers versatility and cohesion.

Custom touches like linear feature wall cladding add sculptural definition to the interiors, while the overall restraint in styling leaves room for your brand, subject, or product to take centre stage. This is a space that adapts to your creative vision – perfect for personal branding shoots, wellness content, fashion editorials, or product photography that calls for sophistication with edge.

Onyx Coolum is a smart choice for Sunshine Coast creatives or Brisbane teams looking for something refined and different. While exterior landscaping is still underway (scheduled for completion in September), the interior is fully operational and visually complete, making it ideal for shoot days that prioritise mood, texture, and architectural form.
