A house that plays along
A good film location does not feel like a set. The rooms here are furnished and lived in, with books on the shelves, rugs on the floor and lamps that actually work. You see that on screen.
Maisonette 1897 is on the Regentesseplein in The Hague. The house is 148 m², spread over a raised ground floor and a lower ground floor, with a garden facing south-east. The ceilings on the raised ground floor are 3.30 metres high, enough room for a raised tripod, a slider or lights on the ceiling.
The rooms on the raised ground floor are en suite. With the classic sliding doors open you get a long sightline through the house, perfect for a shot with depth or a character walking from room to room.
The dining room, for scenes at the table
A table is at the heart of many scenes. In the dining room you sit under a plaster ceiling with a rose, beside a cast-iron fireplace, on herringbone parquet. There is a piano, and wall lights you can keep burning in shot.
With the sliding doors open on two sides you have room to put the camera behind the actors, or to shoot from the living room through the doors.
The living room, for the evening scene
A white sofa, a black fireplace, a chandelier with glass tulips and two tall stained glass windows. By day you get west light here; in the evening the lamps turn it into a warm sitting room.
The stained glass sliding doors are the signature of the house. Let a character slide them open, or shoot through the glass into the dining room.
The kitchen, for the morning
For a breakfast scene or a commercial for a kitchen product, the kitchen is ideal. A marble island with bar stools, a sleek wall of units and stained glass windows onto the garden.
The morning light arrives here first. Want to go again after lunch? Then the light comes from the other side.
The garden, for the exterior
The city garden faces south-east, behind the lower ground floor. Striped parasols, a round table with rattan chairs, a lounge corner, a sandpit and plenty of green.
You walk straight out from the master bedroom, so a scene that starts inside and ends outside can be shot in one go.
Power, logistics and recce
There are sixteen circuits with three-phase power, enough to run lights and equipment together. Fibre at 1 Gbit/s up and down and wifi throughout the house are handy for dailies or a live feed to the client.
A sprinter or van can park at the door, close by for loading gear in and out. Parking is free in the side streets of the Regentesseplein until 18:00.
Want to see it first? Book a recce and we will walk through every room together, look at where you can tie in for power and how the light falls at the time you want to shoot.
