About this space

Tucked into the leafy heart of Mount Hawthorn, Wilberhouse is a masterfully reimagined 1920s character home brought into the present with a bold, light-filled modern extension by acclaimed Perth architecture firm ZARQ. Designed to harmonise old-world charm with contemporary precision, this heritage-meets-modern space offers a rare backdrop for shoots that require both elegance and architectural interest.

The original home retains its defining period features—vintage leadlight windows, hardwood floors, and ornate fireplaces—all beautifully preserved and ready to anchor timeless interior scenes. As you move through the property, the shift into the contemporary extension is seamless and striking. Here, floor-to-ceiling glass walls invite natural light deep into the space, opening up to panoramic garden views and casting soft reflections across polished surfaces.

The open-plan living, kitchen, and dining zone sits at the core of the extension, with clean lines, high-end appliances, and an intelligent layout that supports everything from cooking content to fashion editorials and lifestyle storytelling. The kitchen is shoot-ready and unobtrusive, perfect for flatlays or styling scenes. The green roofs and minimalist façade introduce a calm, architectural edge to the exterior, while the alfresco area offers soft landscaping and a feeling of openness—ideal for seamless indoor-outdoor transitions.

Every detail of the home has been crafted with the kind of precision that makes filming and photography intuitive. Wide sightlines, layered materials, and thoughtful lighting create opportunities in every corner—whether you’re capturing heritage charm, architectural form, or natural, lived-in moments.

Set in Vincent, WA, and just minutes from Perth’s creative and commercial centres, Wilberhouse is a high-functioning, visually striking location that suits editorial shoots, film productions, product campaigns, and elevated branding work. With flexible access and capacity for up to 50 guests, it’s a versatile, shoot-friendly space that brings real design integrity to the table.
