A photo posted by E L James (@erikaljames) on
Casa Mia ballroom with its Commodore-style sprung floor.
One of the big sequences is the Grey masquerade ball where Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) meets the older woman Elena Lincoln (Kim Basinger) — “Mrs. Robinson” — who seduced the 15-year-old Christian Grey into the world of S&M. Ana is shocked to learn Elena is still a big part of grownup Christian (Jamie Dornan)’s life.

The built-in-1932, Spanish revival mansion Casa Mia on SW Marine Drive played the Grey family home in Fifty Shades of Grey: the scene of a Grey family dinner with the Seattle-billionaire-with-singular-tastes Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) his date Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), his parents Dr. Grace Trevelyan-Grey (Marcia Gay Harden) and Carrick Grey (Andrew Airlie), his sister Mia (Rita Ori), his brother Elliot (Luke Grimes) and Elliot’s date, Ana’s roommate Kate (Eloise Mumford).

Casa Mia sits behind walls and is private. As is the Fifty Shades circus near Canada Line’s Marine Drive station.
