Mitchell House | Architectural Light-Filled Photoshoot Location | Waurn Ponds, VIC

Bold, contemporary, and flooded with light, this architect-designed home in Waurn Ponds is a shoot-ready space that pairs visual impact with true versatility. Set on four acres of landscaped greenery, the property feels quietly secluded, yet sits just minutes from Geelong’s retail and transport hubs, offering a polished balance of urban access and countryside calm.

Designed by architects Emma & Kris Mitchell, the home is a single-level modern build, defined by dramatic natural light, soaring ceilings, and a strong palette of materials. Industrial-style black framed doors and commercial glazing create a clean architectural rhythm, while the polished concrete floors and oversized white walls provide a seamless, studio-style backdrop for content creation. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding lawn and greenery, giving stylists and photographers a canvas that feels both raw and refined.

The open-plan layout flows through the main living zones available for hire, kitchen, dining, living, and the main bathroom, all of which are thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the home’s sun-drenched orientation. In the kitchen, giant sliders open out to an elevated lawn, with lush green hills rolling away from a striking internal red brick wall that continues outside for visual continuity. It's a home built for the camera, structured, sculptural, and full of intentional texture.

From product and food styling to fashion and lifestyle campaigns, this space adapts easily. There’s ample room for gear and crew, off-street parking for multiple vehicles, and 12-seater dining ideal for large meetings, workshops, or shoot day catering. The architectural bones give clarity to every frame, while the natural light and greenery keep things grounded and warm.

Located in Waurn Ponds, Victoria, this Greater Geelong location offers a rare combination of industrial edge and rural calm. It’s particularly well suited to brands working in food and beverage, kitchenware, lifestyle, gardening, or family-focused storytelling. And for film or content teams needing clean lines and crisp surfaces, the home’s structural clarity and modern design make it a standout.

This space is more than just beautiful, it’s highly functional, easy to access, and ready for whatever creative direction you bring.
