Badja House | Mid-Century Photoshoot Location with Retro Pool & Courtyard | Bayview, NSW

Set across 4,000 square metres in the quiet elegance of Bayview on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Badja House is a mid-century dream that leans fully into its 1970s roots. Designed by an architect and rich in original features, this spacious, light-filled home offers an evocative backdrop for fashion shoots, content creation, and film productions seeking a retro aesthetic with real personality.

From the moment you enter, Badja House sets a tone—warm natural light flows through every room, highlighting clean lines, authentic detailing, and generous spatial proportions. At the heart of the home is a burnt orange kitchen complete with a retro mini bar, a hero feature that anchors the aesthetic and offers stylists and art directors a vibrant, era-specific set piece for campaign work. It's bold, photogenic, and undeniably nostalgic.

Stepping outside, the scene shifts to a Palm Springs-inspired pool area—geometric, sun-soaked, and surrounded by established greenery that gives shoots privacy and layered depth. Adjacent, a Moroccan-style courtyard adds further dimension, centred around a pale blue fountain with a retractable roof—an uncommon detail that allows for both natural light control and creative framing. Whether shooting relaxed lifestyle content, resort wear campaigns, or stylised editorial, these outdoor zones offer flexibility and strong visual identity.

Inside, the home’s mid-century structure is accentuated by original finishes, open living areas, and a relaxed flow that supports both handheld and setup-heavy production. Air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and an indoor fireplace round out the comfort-driven features, while ample on-site parking for up to eight cars simplifies logistics for cast and crew.

Badja House suits a wide range of productions, from fashion lookbooks and brand films to music videos, product campaigns, and TVCs. Its layered style, shoot-friendly layout, and secluded setting in Bayview, NSW make it as functional as it is visually distinctive.

A true retro time capsule—spacious, sunlit, and set up to support creativity at scale.
