Wardell Chambers

Written by Axiom Workplaces | Dec 1, 2021 1:41:48 AM

Wardell Chambers is a premier barristers’ chambers located in Sydney, Australia. Wardell is home to 29 barristers including six senior counsel. They have long been renowned for both depth and breadth of legal knowledge and experience, with leaders and specialists in all areas of law.

Workplace Strategy Informs the New Office Design

Wardell Chambers sought the expertise of Axiom to develop a comprehensive workplace strategy, as well as to design and construct the fit-out of their new office space on Elizabeth Street, Sydney. This move was necessitated by the State Government's acquisition of their previous building, which they had occupied for approximately 20 years, for an infrastructure project. Consequently, this placed them under significant time constraints to relocate. The newly chosen office space spans a single level with a floor area of 850 square meters, and the objective was to create a personalised office chamber for each resident barrister.



The Finished Offices

This new workspace embodies the brand of Wardell Chambers, a firm established in 1977. Upon entering the completed Wardell Chambers office, visitors will be impressed by the quality of the furnishings and finishes, which reflect a traditional aesthetic. In addition to the numerous barrister chambers there are two mediation rooms, the Hughes Room and the Ellicott Room, named in honor of two distinguished former Heads of Chambers: the Honourable Tom Hughes AO QC, and the Honourable Robert Ellicott AC QC.  Axiom successfully created an outstanding workplace that accommodates the specific needs of the barristers, while also preserving the long-standing tradition of the firm.
