Lumiere House | Modern Coastal Architectural Home | Wollongong, NSW

Tucked away in Mangerton, one of Wollongong’s most picturesque suburbs, Lumiere House is a bold and beautifully resolved blend of modern architecture, coastal elegance, and artful family living. This five-bedroom, five-bathroom home isn’t just visually striking—it’s structurally and stylistically shoot-ready, purpose-built for creators looking for a backdrop with scale, depth, and sophisticated detail.

Originally a 1940s Art Deco home, the property has been transformed by its owners, Dane and Zoe Cartwright, into a three-level contemporary masterpiece. Elements of the original build—curved brickwork, exposed rafter tails, and a sweeping balcony—remain as nods to its past, but the overall form now sits firmly in the present. Its anodised aluminium façade brings commercial-grade design to a residential setting, offering textural contrast and architectural edge that reads beautifully on camera.

Inside, the interiors are minimalist yet layered, finished in warm neutrals, stone, and soft light-reflective surfaces. Marble accents and intentional spatial planning define each zone, with sightlines and flow that give stylists, DOPs, and photographers complete control over framing and light. The layout spans multiple dedicated areas across three levels, including a parents' retreat, a family zone, a bar and entertainment level, a library, and a vast open-plan kitchen and dining space. Every level has been considered with scale and privacy in mind—ideal for brand campaigns, editorial shoots, lifestyle content, and TVC productions alike.

The connection to outdoor space is seamless. Expansive lawns wrap around to a striking pool zone, where structured landscaping meets the clean lines of the home. The design maximises site constraints without compromising on usability. Natural light pours in through purpose-placed windows, and the home’s layered form means you’ll always find an angle that works—whether shooting indoors or out.

Designed for high-capacity use, Lumiere House can host up to 100 guests and offers flexibility through a range of tailored access packages: from single-room setups to full-day outdoor hire or large-scale commercial shoots. On-site features include air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a fireplace, and generous zones for staging, wardrobe, HMU, and crew movement.

Lumiere House in Wollongong, NSW is more than just a setting—it’s a design statement with real flexibility and cinematic appeal. Whether you're capturing clean architectural stills, family lifestyle content, or a full production rollout, this space brings scale, beauty, and ease to every frame.
