About this space

Just ten minutes from Brisbane’s CBD, Carleton Rhode is a grand, light-filled Queenslander built in 1913 and lovingly restored to blend timeless heritage with a clean, contemporary finish. This is a space that celebrates the best of old and new—original VJs, fretwork, and wide verandas meet open-plan living, white-on-white styling, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Set on an expansive 700m² block, the home is wrapped in lush greenery and elevated with city views. From the moment you step through the gatehouse and ascend the front stairs, the property feels warm, welcoming, and shoot-ready. The palette is crisp and neutral, allowing for a range of creative directions—whether you’re shooting a lifestyle campaign, wellness edit, fashion series, or family-focused brand.

Inside, high ceilings and generous windows flood every room with natural light. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom layout has been carefully reimagined with a new kitchen and bathrooms that honour the home’s architectural history while supporting modern content production. French doors, a bifold window, and wide timber verandas create strong transitions between interior and exterior zones—perfect for storytelling that moves with the light.

Design features like archways, decorative fretwork, original architraves, and weatherboard walls give each frame texture and character. The enclosed sunroom, a standout feature, is lined with windows and bathed in light—ideal for portraiture, styled shoots, or soft editorial content.

Outside, the wide verandas and timber-lined eaves offer undercover entertaining areas with city views. The garden provides a lush, green contrast to the white interiors, expanding your backdrop options across natural, architectural, and styled settings.

Located less than 20 minutes from Brisbane Airport, Carleton Rhode is as accessible as it is beautiful. Whether you’re staging a product launch, filming a brand campaign, or capturing a stills shoot that needs elegance, scale, and versatility, this quintessential Queenslander delivers at every angle.
