About this space

Located in Melbourne, VIC, The Sunward House is a refined architectural home designed with both beauty and function in mind — a calm, sculptural canvas made for content creation.

Designed by Wardle Design Studio, the residence embodies a warm minimalism: layered textures, soft curves, and a neutral tonal palette lend a timeless, editorial edge to every room. The home flows naturally from its sculptural kitchen and stone-detailed living zones through to a large family deck and lush grassed backyard — ideal for lifestyle, outdoor, and pet brands wanting depth and flexibility across indoor and outdoor frames.

Natural light filters softly through the open-plan layout, amplifying the sense of space and calm. Shoot teams will appreciate the cinematic quality of light throughout the day, along with the considered finishes — Kalamata Laminex cabinetry, stainless steel detailing, custom joinery, and a blend of organic materials that elevate without overwhelming the frame.

The kitchen offers a modern yet approachable backdrop for product styling, campaign work, or content creation across wellness and lifestyle verticals. Beyond, the expansive backyard delivers scale and texture for alfresco moments — with the kind of easy flow that supports everything from fashion lookbooks to pet brand shoots.

The generously sized mudroom and laundry offer practical space for crew and gear, while the overall layout ensures smooth movement between key zones. Whether you’re shooting branded content, a family-focused campaign, or an elevated editorial, this home offers the perfect mix of sculptural elegance and functional shoot-readiness.

Set in Melbourne, VIC, The Sunward House is a seamless base for full-day productions — where every frame earns its place and the backdrop does more with less.
