About this space

Rising above the native treetops of the Gold Coast, The Surrounds is a secluded tri-level shoot location that feels both grounded and elevated—an architectural treehouse with soul. Designed to draw in northern light and draw out a connection to nature, this home blends structure and serenity, making it an ideal canvas for content creation, brand campaigns, and editorial photography.

Every line and material in the space tells a story. Timber and stone surfaces run throughout, anchoring the design in earthy tones that echo the surrounding rainforest and coastal landscape. Natural textures and a warm, sunlit palette create a gentle rhythm across each level, offering a visual language that feels both contemporary and timeless.

The home’s multi-storey layout unfolds gradually, revealing zones of privacy and openness in equal measure. Large windows frame leafy outlooks, flooding the interior with soft, shifting light throughout the day—perfect for lifestyle, product, or wellness shoots that rely on a natural glow. From wide living areas to quiet architectural corners, each level offers flexibility for creative teams to work fluidly, whether you’re capturing long-lens hero shots or tight editorial details.

While the bedroom furniture has been removed (except in the master), the remaining spaces are shoot-ready and beautifully stripped back—allowing full styling control. White space and open floorplans keep the focus on clean lines and mood, while hidden touches like a green screen and reliable wifi add production ease for hybrid or film projects.

Located on the Gold Coast, Queensland, The Surrounds offers creatives a refined yet raw environment with just the right level of retreat. It’s quiet, private, and immersed in nature—yet solidly built and well-connected for practical use. A rare mix of stillness and style, wrapped in forest light.
