About this space

Tucked away in the quiet, coastal enclave of Rye, VIC, Nerissa offers a rare fusion of architectural precision and relaxed seaside calm. Designed by the acclaimed team at Larritt-Evans, this newly built residence presents as both a shoot-ready haven and a beautifully curated creative backdrop.

Anchored by a central courtyard framed by moonahs and indigenous grasses, the home’s design flows effortlessly between two distinct pavilions. One is devoted to open-plan living and entertaining, the other to peaceful rest and retreat—giving teams the versatility to shoot multiple scenes without disruption. Whether you’re capturing a fashion editorial, a cinematic sequence, or a wellness campaign, the spatial clarity and zoned layout here are built for production ease.

The living pavilion is luminous and expansive, with natural light pouring through retractable doors that open onto a wide, decked terrace. This seamless connection between indoors and out lets you move fluidly between lush garden backdrops and the refined interior. Every element within this zone feels intentional: custom wall lighting, designer finishes, and a marble-clad fireplace that adds sculptural drama without overpowering the space.

At the heart of it all, the fully equipped chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional. Featuring premium appliances and generous prep space, it’s ideal for food-focused shoots, styled content, or client catering during full-day productions.

In the sleeping pavilion, four serene bedrooms offer a softer, more intimate mood. The primary suite is particularly elevated, with its walk-in robe and statement ensuite—a marble-clad bath set against tranquil tones makes for a luxurious detail shot. Garden views from every room reinforce the home’s connection to nature and its calming, coastal rhythm.

With six dedicated crew parking spaces, fast Wi-Fi, and full amenities on site, production teams can work without compromise. Every zone has been considered for both beauty and practicality—making Nerissa a standout among shoot locations on the Mornington Peninsula.

From the first light in the kitchen to golden hour in the garden, creatives will find the flow, textures, and flexibility they need to bring any vision to life.
