About Walter Barda Design

Walter Barda Design Pty Ltd has been based in Sydney since 1987, offering consultancy services in planning, architecture, landscape and interior design. A diverse portfolio of built works demonstrates the firms capabilities in delivering projects of the highest quality, incorporating a unique sense of art form into each opportunity.

The Director, Walter Barda, is personally involved in the design and detail of each project, bringing an inventive approach to the built work. As a regularly exhibiting visual artist, Walter has held one person exhibitions of paintings across Eastern Australia, and his work is held in numerous private and public collections. With this background, the expression of architecture as an art form is a natural goal for the practice. The use of sophisticated 3 dimensional modeling software, enables complex, sculptural ideas to be realised by the office team, which currently has 7 practitioners.

Within Sydney’s Northern Beaches locale alone, Walter Barda Design has produced over 30 innovative residences, receiving many design awards for their creative contribution to the built environment. Discerning clients from areas of business, entertainment and the arts have sought out the unique product we offer.

Further afield, significant commercial projects include the Hungerford Hill Winery  at Pokolbin, Observatory Tower in Sydney’s CBD , Kogarah Aesthetic Day Surgery , Hamilton Island Yacht Club and Villas in Queensland, and the Tower Estate Resort Villas in The Hunter Valley. Walter was collaboratively involved with the Federation Pavilion in Sydney’s Centennial park (Landscape Design ) and the Australian Hellenic Memorial in Canberra.

The common thread of each completed work is an imaginative integration between buildings and landscapes, incorporating a signature style of natural forms and material , producing work which celebrates the extraordinary opportunities of each site and client program.
