About this space

Cactus House is a cinematic modernist gem perched in Brisbane, QLD—equal parts architectural statement and sun-drenched shoot sanctuary. Drawing inspiration from the iconic Palm Springs aesthetic, this ultra-modern location is defined by its bold lines, textural depth, and an effortless flow between indoors and out.

The layout is open and inviting, with expansive sightlines and sculptural elements at every turn. Concrete ceilings and a rock feature wall bring a striking visual contrast to the warmth of stone and timber flooring, creating an interplay of materials that reads beautifully on camera. These natural textures and hard surfaces catch light in dynamic ways throughout the day, offering shifting backdrops and tones without ever needing to re-style.

The space flows into a show-stopping cacti garden, complete with outdoor shower and sweeping views of the Brisbane skyline—an ideal backdrop for branding shoots, editorial campaigns, or high-impact fashion photography. With the right angle, it’s all sand, succulents and sky.

Inside, the minimal palette and sculptural surfaces offer an architectural blank canvas. Designers and photographers will appreciate the range of textures: smooth concrete, rough stone, warm timber, and raw garden elements—all working together to provide visual depth with minimal styling required.

Functionally, the space is as shoot-friendly as it is photogenic. The large garage features extra-high ceilings, adding versatility for staging, production equipment or styled automotive shoots. The home is also equipped with fast Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and a fireplace—ensuring comfort year-round.

From sunrise over the city views to golden hour through the cactus-lined garden, every hour here offers something new. Whether you’re shooting lifestyle, wellness, high-end product, or editorial fashion, Cactus House delivers aesthetic impact, space to move, and a natural rhythm that makes full-day shoots feel seamless.

Brisbane creatives, this one’s a rare find: a modern, Palm Springs-inspired shoot location that blends architectural interest with outdoor drama, all just minutes from the city. Easy to work in, unforgettable on camera.
