The Camden
South Yarra, VIC, Australia
The Space
Set between the Royal Botanic Gardens and Fawkner Park in Melbourne's prestigious Domain Precinct, The Camden is one of the city's most authentically preserved Art Deco locations. Built in the 1930s, this iconic honey brick corner building comprises six generously proportioned apartments spanning 516m² of net residential area, offering production teams a rare combination of period authenticity, spatial variety, and scale that is almost impossible to find in a single Melbourne address.
For Film & Television The Camden is a production designer's dream. Every apartment retains its original 1930s character, hardwood timber floors, ornate plasterwork cornices, soaring ceilings, curved bay windows and Art Deco fireplace surrounds, with zero need for period dressing. The building's six individually distinct apartments provide an extraordinary range of settings within one location: grand open plan living rooms flooded with natural light, intimate gallery style kitchens with original cream subway tiles and diamond mosaic floors, and bathrooms complete with mint cast iron baths and chrome cross head fittings. Shoot a drawing room scene upstairs and a working class kitchen two floors below — all on the same call sheet.
The building's striking exterior is equally compelling. The curved brick corner tower, signature green framed steel windows, ornate entry portal with original "Camden" lettering, and lush established garden beds provide a wealth of exterior shooting options across a single address.
With six apartments available for exclusive hire, The Camden can comfortably accommodate large crew sizes across multiple units simultaneously, with dedicated spaces for base camp, hair and makeup, wardrobe and production offices alongside active shooting spaces. Four secure car spaces are available on site, with additional street parking on the surrounding residential streets. At just 3km from the Melbourne CBD, the location offers genuine inner-city access without inner-city disruption.
Positioned on the western side of Park Street within Melbourne's Domain Precinct, The Camden sits moments from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Fawkner Park, Melbourne Grammar, the MCG, St Kilda Road's cultural corridor and the vibrant lifestyle of Chapel Street. In London they have Mayfair and Park Lane. In New York they have Fifth Avenue. In Melbourne, it's all about Park Street.
