The Award-Winning Home of an Architect That Unites Architecture, Art, Design and Craft (House Tour)

Located near central Melbourne with a view towards the Yarra River, Kew Residence is home of an architect that unites architecture, art, design and craft. Designed by and for John Wardle of John Wardle Architects, the architecture and interior design is intricately detailed, with emphasis placed on materiality and bespoke elements. The house is positioned to appear as part of the natural landscape of elm trees on the site, in a way that reflects the respect for nature inherent in Japanese design.
The architect’s love of the Japanese artefact is depicted in the forms and specifications within the interior design and architecture. Throughout the house, custom Japanese tiles are used as a measure, with spaces designed in response to the size, shape and aesthetic of the tiling. The kitchen walls feature a scalloped tile from the Tajimi Valley in Japan. A downstairs space known as the Bamboo Forest Room features tiles produced in a singular kiln in the Tajimi Valley. Each piece is slightly different, creating a varied and beautiful result that reflects the uniqueness and simplicity of Japanese artefacts. The master bathroom contains a mix of Agape products and INAX ceramic tiles, with a Nivis basin and Cristalplant bathtub completing its luxurious, organic materiality.
As the home of an architect, sculptural features are given equal weight to functional elements. The house displays John Wardle’s love of narrative, with personal stories contained in the customised interior design, an example being a table that tells the tale of a tea tray the architect purchased as a student.
As is often seen with the home of an architect, every detail of this house has been carefully considered with bespoke elements, play of light and aesthetic effects taking precedence.

As an aspiring architect-to-be, this might just be the single most motivating and inspiring thing I've ever come across. Because it truly feels like a home, and at the same time I could walk around in there for weeks and not have enough time to take it all in. Jaw-dropping. Not only the attention to detail, but the eye- and the vision for every little detail cannot be put into words. I'm blown away, I really am.

To me from the outside it looks like a box with glass around it. Inside looks over furnished, dark and claustrophobic. The windows give some good views but that’s about it. I wonder if postmodern architecture can produce anything beautiful. Everything looks like dull boxes.

John Wardle is absolutely one of my favorite architects. I found his firm's work on social media a few years ago. He is so in tune to his craft. The level of detail and thoughtfulness found in his personal home is where an architect can really express his art, and John does indeed demonstrate that his ideas are endless. The home and furniture is full of surprises. I love it.
