John Wardle has an international reputation as a design architect. His process builds upon ideas that evolve from a site’s topography, landscape, history and context.
As the founder of Wardle, which has studios in Sydney and Melbourne, John is attuned to the importance of detail. It is through the detail that the nature of material, the fit to function and the experience of occupation is expressed.
The work of Wardle is tailored to place and highly experiential in nature. Diverse in scale and typology, the practice portfolio spans domestic dwellings, university buildings, museums and large commercial offices.
The practice has won coveted national and international awards for education, residential and civic design. John was honoured in 2020 with the Gold Medal, the Australian Institute of Architects highest individual distinction.
