Medit 138 — a Coastal Mediterranean House Filming Location in Playa Del Rey for Film and Photo Productions

Medit 138 is the kind of Playa Del Rey house that gives a production several usable looks without moving the crew. As a filming location, it has a warm Mediterranean face, with Tuscan-influenced stone, terracotta rooflines, clipped cypress trees and wrought-iron details, then opens into larger contemporary rooms with coastal-view windows and long interior sightlines. The pool terrace, planted courtyards and layered outdoor levels give film, photo shoot and production teams a lot to work with while keeping the property feeling cohesive.

Open-Plan Interiors with Room for the Camera

The main floor is the easiest place to understand the house from a production point of view. The kitchen, sitting area and dining zone all connect across gray plank flooring, so scenes can move through the space rather than feeling locked into one corner. A pale stone fireplace wall gives the room shape without closing it off, which makes it possible to find long angles from the black cabinetry kitchen toward the lounge. The oversized marble-look island is especially useful for lifestyle, commercial, editorial and television work. It has the scale to read polished and high-end on camera, while still giving actors, stylists and crew enough room to work naturally. Downstairs, the mood changes. Full-height rusticated stone walls, limestone-colored floor tile, a black iron staircase and the piano create a heavier Tuscan interior that could easily play as a European retreat. Even with that richer texture, the room stays practical, with sliding glass doors, broad windows, long wall runs and an open center for lighting, camera and performance.

Coastal Light and Distinct Bedroom Looks

The upper rooms really lean into the Playa Del Rey setting. Large black-framed windows bring in views across the wetlands, palms and ocean horizon, especially on the west-facing side of the house. For wide beauty shots or naturally backlit coverage, these rooms are strongest later in the day. When the sun becomes too direct, the courtyard-facing rooms, shaded lower lounge and recessed ceiling fixtures give crews more controlled alternatives. The bedrooms do not feel like repeated neutral boxes, which helps when a production needs more than one private-room look. One room has an emerald channel-tufted bed set against a deep blue wall, while another brings in pink walls, a crystal-style chandelier and built-in shelving. The primary bedroom is calmer and cleaner, with wraparound coastal windows doing most of the visual work. The bathrooms add a few useful tighter setups as well. A glass-block shower enclosure gives a specific period-modern texture, while the separate dark stone tub-and-shower space offers a moodier domestic option.

Pool Terrace, Courtyards and Production Flow

Outside, the house reads Mediterranean immediately. Rough-cut stone wraps the multistory pool façade below terracotta eaves, with narrow cypress trees emphasizing the height. From the water side, the long rectangular pool, square spa and broad stone deck create clean establishing angles, while balconies, large windows and a covered dining terrace keep the background layered. The exterior continues beyond the pool in a way that is useful for shooting. A fountain courtyard, rose-lined café nook, hedge-enclosed lounge with a stone fireplace and a narrow putting course each give a separate beat without feeling disconnected from the main house. Exterior stairs, including the black spiral stair beside the pool, link the levels and can also provide elevated camera positions over the deck. For larger exterior setups, the pool deck offers the clearest working width. As with any Playa Del Rey filming location, arrivals, exterior staging and permits can be coordinated with FilmLA, and equipment movement should be planned through the gated courtyard and stepped grounds.
