Modern Location Houses Around the Country
Architectural modern houses are increasingly popular as film and TV locations due to their sleek, minimalist design, open spaces, and striking aesthetics. Their flexible, adaptable interiors can be used to convey luxury, futuristic settings, or artistic characters, while the abundance of natural light and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions provide filmmakers with dynamic shooting options. Location Partnership has a variety of modern location houses situated up and down the country, so you're sure to find the perfect modern masterpiece for your next project.
In the South East you're guaranteed to find a plethora of country estates and manor houses, but there are also an increasing number of modern houses available to hire. Modern film locations houses in Surrey reflect a blend of contemporary architectural design and the area's natural beauty. H22536 for example, features sleek lines, large glass windows, and open-plan interior that maximizes light and space. Modern properties in Surrey, like this one, also emphasize indoor-outdoor living, with expansive gardens, terraces, and bi-fold doors connecting the living spaces to the lush countryside surroundings.
In Kent, you'll find a similar vibe with H23708, a super modern beach house that perfectly blends modern and Scandinavian interiors. Contemporary and Scandi styles often come hand in hand as they both tend to adopt a minimalistic approach with a variety of textures. This Kent location house is a great example of this, from the polished concrete floors contrasting seamlessly with the wooden, mid century style furnishings.
Over to the East in Hertfordshire, you'll find H23522, a sleek and moody architectural location house. This location is a firm favourite when it comes to fashion and beauty stills shoots and it's easy to see why!; The modern architecture blends clean lines with natural surroundings, offering both urban and rural aesthetics. Adding this to the contrast of light and dark tones, and mixture of materials makes modern house locations in Hertfordshire very visually appealing backdrops.
To the North in Derbyshire, we have H22561. This fantastic film and photography location consists of an open-plan layout, with polished concrete flooring and wooden accents throughout. The interior is minimal and stylish, while also being light and bright which means minimal dress and lighting prep for shoots. The kitchen and modern sitting room looks out through floor to ceiling glass doors, which lead out into a gorgeous garden. This location house is another great example of how modern spaces bring the outside in, both through the use of natural materials and by installing glass at every corner.
If your travel restricts your shoot then Location Partnership has plenty of modern location houses in and around London to hire. H22964 is an architecturally designed location house in South West London that sprawls upwards rather than outwards like in more rural houses. Contrast to the popular open plan layouts of modern houses, this property has opted to keep rooms sectioned off from eachother, which actually makes it a really versatile video shoot location by offering rooms with varying looks and styles.
Architectural and modern houses make excellent film, TV, and photography shoot locations due to their unique blend of design, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. Their clean lines, open spaces, and contemporary materials create visually striking environments that enhance storytelling and elevate visual composition. These homes offer a neutral yet sophisticated canvas that can be easily adapted to fit various themes, genres, or styles. Additionally, the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces provides creative flexibility for different types of shoots, making them ideal for capturing dynamic and compelling visuals across different media.
