About this space

Room by IQ Studio is a raw and ready industrial-style space nestled in the heart of Mermaid Beach, Queensland. Purpose-built for creative freedom, this natural light studio offers a versatile blank canvas for photoshoots, workshops, and event activations—with all the visual texture and functional flexibility to match.

From the moment you step inside, the space feels expansive and inviting. High ceilings open up the volume, while white brick walls and sheer curtains soften the edges, creating a look that shifts seamlessly between gritty and refined. Original industrial flooring grounds the aesthetic, adding an authentic edge that elevates fashion, product, and editorial shoots. A statement chandelier brings a subtle layer of contrast, bridging the line between raw and romantic.

Natural light is the true hero here. With two large roller doors and sunlight that moves beautifully across the floor from morning through golden hour, every shoot benefits from dynamic lighting without the need for artificial rigs. Afternoon light in particular spills in with a warm, cinematic glow—perfect for beauty content, portraiture, or moody stills.

Styled props are available on-site and ready to use, giving creatives the option to add detail or depth without overhauling the space. Whether you’re shooting content for a brand campaign or hosting a workshop or private celebration, the setting adapts with ease. While event hire is available by enquiry, all shoot bookings enjoy exclusive use of the entire studio, ensuring privacy and control for the duration.

Located in Mermaid Beach’s industrial zone, Room by IQ Studio is easy to access and well-suited to crews who need a streamlined setup. With flexible styling potential and all-day light, it’s a Gold Coast go-to for content creators, photographers, stylists, and brands looking to bring a concept to life in a space that doesn’t compete—it complements.
