What services does Wang Architects provide?
We offer full architectural and interior design services for custom homes across Melbourne. From concept design to construction documentation and site inspections, we tailor each project to meet our client’s lifestyle, site conditions, and aesthetic vision.
How long does it take to design and build a house in Victoria?
The design and documentation process typically takes 4 – 8 months, depending on project complexity and planning approval requirements. Construction generally takes 12 – 18 months for a new-build single dwelling.
Can you work with sloping or challenging sites?
Yes. We specialise in designing for complex sites, including sloping blocks. We see these challenges as opportunities to create unique, site-responsive architecture.
Do you handle both architecture and interior design?
Yes. We believe architecture and interiors should be integrated seamlessly. Our team designs both the building form and the interior details, including joinery, finishes, lighting, and spatial flow, etc.

Construction costs vary based on size, complexity, and finishes. As a rough guide, high-quality custom homes in Melbourne typically range from $4,000 to $6,000 plus per square metre. We can help you align your brief with a realistic budget.

What makes Wang Architects different?
We combine fine art sensibility with practical, site-responsive architecture. Our process is personal, deliberate, and focused on creating emotional resonance through design, not just rational solutions.
Do you take on renovation or extension projects?
Yes. In addition to new builds, we design renovations and extensions that respect the existing character while meeting moder lifestyle needs.
