The Notebook
The house that Noah would rebuild in the movie really exist! It is located at Martin’s Point Plantation on Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina, and was built in 1772.
The troupe had considered finding a dilapidated house to film which they could then renovate as the narrative progressed, but at the end they decided on using this beautiful house, and make it appear run down for the film's earlier scenes.
The royal tenenbaum
You will find this house on 144th Street and Covenant Avenue in Harlem. Wes Anderson - who at first wanted to shoot the movie on a soundstage - and his location scout found this house before he began working on the script. The house was unoccupied at the time of production. Anderson therefore rented it for six months and shot multiple exterior and interior shots there, transforming it into what we see in the film. The house is now a private residence.
The Great Gatsby
Catherine Martin, the designer of the movie and Baz Luhrman's wife, oversaw 42 individual sets created in and around Sydney
both on location and on sound stages. It took her team 14 weeks just to build, paint, and decorate Gatsby’s mansion.
For the exterior shots of the estate, the Gothic Revival building of the former St. Patrick’s Seminary in Sydney was used, with faux ivy applied to the first two floors and a temporary fountain constructed in the courtyard; plus, in post-production, soaring turrets were added digitally.
The Big Lebowski
Jackie Treehorn's kickass house was Built in 1963. It was designed by architect and Frank Lloyd Wright-disciple, John Lautner, and is known officially as the Sheats Goldstein Residence for the family who commissioned it and lived there through the late 1960s. Much like Wright's most famous work, it was intended to blend in as though it is an extension of the natural environment around it.
