Lantern | Coastal & Mid-Century Modern Photoshoot Location | Redcliffe, QLD

Lantern is more than a home, it’s a sculptural sanctuary where refined minimalism, mid-century modern cues, and coastal materiality converge, just moments from the shoreline in Redcliffe, Queensland. Designed by internationally awarded architect Nicholas Elias, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom residence invites creatives into a world of pure form, natural textures, and elevated function.

From its globally celebrated circular pivot door crafted by Frits Jurgens and framed in 7.8km of native Blackbutt timber, to its floating upper level and expressive steel staircase, Lantern offers an architectural backdrop that feels both contemporary and timeless. Mid-century influences reveal themselves in the warm timber palette, clean lines, and integrated joinery, while every surface has been curated with intention. Blind-fixed Queensland Walnut veneer creates visual continuity throughout the interiors, while cork flooring, Verde Alpi marble benches, and etched glass doors bring tactility and richness to every room.

At the heart of the home is a kitchen made for content and conversation. Its sculpted built-in booth, integrated planters, and dual Fisher & Paykel appliance suites are offset by a concealed scullery, making it equally suited to branding shoots, film productions, or elevated food content. Just beyond, a sunken alfresco lounge and 1.9m deep natural-plunge pool expand the shoot possibilities outdoors, framed by endemic planting and the soft rhythms of light and shadow.

Each bathroom is a shoot-worthy moment in its own right, featuring handcrafted Japanese tiles, solid steel vanities, and rainfall showers. The dual master suites offer stylistic variation and spatial flexibility, ideal for multi-scene editorials, lookbooks, or lifestyle shoots. With gallery nooks, architectural vistas, and natural light flowing across zones, Lantern allows you to frame clean, contemporary compositions from every angle.

Grounded in passive design principles and inspired by the organic forms of Burle Marx, the surrounding gardens dissolve the line between built and natural space. Native and endemic species soften the architectural form and provide living, walkable textures that evolve throughout the day.

Located in Redcliffe, Queensland, and offering weekday and weekend availability, Lantern is a shoot-ready content space that balances striking design with creative usability. Every finish, every line, and every shadow has been considered so you can simply show up and create.
