Marlborough House

Time & Place

The measure of a good building is how much time people want to spend in it. We look beyond the size or materiality of a space, to consider instead how it feels and what it’s like to be in. We want to make people feel comfortable in spaces that feel familiar.

We’re proud to have established a rich culture that supports a young, diverse and driven team. Our staff are the core of everything we do – they represent our capacity to be effective, to grow, and to achieve our future ambitions.

Wardle Design

Who we are

To build a house is one thing, but better still is to create a space that becomes a home. This is what we do at Wardle Design- creates spaces that enable people to live better. Every project and every client brings its own unique combination of people, place and purpose. We engage with the complexity of these factors by serving the unique needs of the site, community, environment and the occupant whilst balancing liveability, feasibility and sustainability.

 Combining the experience, network and design excellence of bigger studios with the customer service and attention to detail of a boutique firm, our responsiveness and candid communication style to both existing and prospective clients makes us easy to work with and we take pride in our high rates of customer satisfaction and retention.

The size of our team enables us to be forward-thinking to anticipate design, lifestyle and materiality trends. We combine material, technical and spatial innovation with advanced sustainability practices as standard on all projects, putting us at the forefront of high quality, but affordable design solutions.

 Deeply rooted in our community in the inner north, and committed to our practice across Melbourne, our core purpose is to design innovative, custom, affordable homes that people love to live in for today and their ‘tomorrow’.
