Wood Marsh

Wood Marsh Architecture, styled Wood | Marsh Architecture, is a Melbourne-based Australian architectural practice founded by Roger Wood and Randal Marsh in 1983.[1]

History

The company was founded by Roger Wood and Randal Marsh, both Melbourne-born in the 1950s, and who completed a Bachelor of Architecture at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology.[2] After working for practices such as Williams Boag and Daryl Jackson, the two established their own private practice "Biltmoderne", along with Dale Jones-Evans in 1983.
