Inveresk Design Forum | Robert Morris-Nunn

Robert Morris-Nunn is regarded as one of Tasmania’s most adventurous and respected architects. He has practiced in Tasmania for over 25 years, taking a special interest in the social impact of architecture and collaborative design processes that often integrate innovative structural ideas.

Robert is the principal design architect. His most recent projects include the Saffire Resort on Tasmania’s Freycinet Peninsula, the redevelopment of the IXL Henry Jones Art Hotel, and the conversion of the Princes Wharf No.1 Shed Redevelopment on Hobart’s waterfront. Robert is the most awarded architect in Tasmania, and his work has been illustrated in numerous national and international publications. He was appointed as Adjunct Professor at the School of Architecture, University of Tasmania in 2009.

Circa Morris Nunn architecture believes that dialogue and collaboration both inside and outside the studio are core to successful projects. This allows each new design to be examined from first principles. Best described as bespoke, projects are not formula driven but rather uniquely crafted for the particular place, drawing from its character, associations and memories.

Robert will discuss the practice’s evolutionary journey with floating buildings, along with other project that they are currently, and explain the logic of how these projects are intrinsically different from traditional ‘land based’ architecture.
