Wood Marsh

Philosophy and Approach

Roger Wood and Randal Marsh have been in private practice since 1983, and their initial philosophical and aesthetic ideals continue to inform their architecture over the decades. Contextual issues related to locale and region form the basis of their diverse work, ranging from residential architecture to commercial and urban projects. The firm is renowned for its clarity of vision and versatility, with art galleries, wineries, and private residences crafted with the same care as the broad urban infrastructure designed in Melbourne and its surroundings, where they are based.

Distinctive Style and Awards

In every project, the foundational principles of Wood Marsh are evident: the sculptural quality of external forms, the interplay between solidity and transparency, and the materiality of limited palettes. Unconcerned with passing trends, Wood and Marsh draw inspiration from the arts in general rather than architecture. Their works have been acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Gallery of Australia, RMIT University, and private collectors. The firm is also recognized nationally and internationally, having received over 50 awards in the field of architecture.
