Roger Wood and Randal Marsh have been in private practice since 1983. One constant in the ensuring decades has been their philosophical and aesthetic ideals. Contextual issues of locality and region underpin their diverse body of work, which spans residential, commercial, and urban work. The practice is renowned for its clarity of vision and its versatility, with art galleries, wineries and private homes as deftly executed as the extensive urban infrastructure the firm has created in and around Melbourne, where it is based. In each project, Wood Marsh’s founding principles are evident: the sculptural quality of the external forms, the play of solidity and transparency, and the materiality of the limited palettes. Each reminds us that contemporary architecture can have a permanence, and that practical design can be unique and beautiful. Unmoved by the ebb and flow of design trends, the work of Wood Marsh is generally influenced by the arts, rather than architecture specifically. The work of Roger and Randal have been acquired by the National Gallery of Victoria, the National Gallery of Australia, RMIT University and private collectors. The firm has also been recognised nationally and internationally as the recipient of more than 50 architecture industry awards.

PROJECTS Drawing from the context as precedents, the ground floor façade of Mint Apartments takes stimulus from the native vegetation prevalent within the Port Phillip Bay foreshore area. The ‘virtual landscape’, created in collaboration with Australian artist Tony Clark, consists of three different sized 3m galvanized steel angles, painted in various shades of green, carefully selected to correspond and reflect an indigenous species of plant found in the immediate locality. Variation in size and colour of the urban artwork continues this motif of movement and flux emulated across each of the building’s facades. #WoodMarsh #architecture #MelbourneArchitecture #ArchitectsMelbourne #residential #luxuryproperty #Melbourne #portmelbourne
