INTRODUCTION
Morris-Nunn Architects is widely
regarded as Tasmania's most
adventurous and innovative
architectural practice. It has
developed internationally recognised
strategies for ecologically sustainable
architecture, constructing several
innovative 'landmark' buildings that
have attracted national and overseas
acclaim.
The basic thrust of MN+A's oeuvre over the years has been to explore new
approaches towards a more enlightened, socially humane architecture. The
practice has created many unique projects that have played an important
role in helping to improve the social conditions of communities in which
the buildings are built.

We always try to produce architecture that brings tangible economic and cultural benefits to the immediate surrounding neighbourhoods.
In addition, these projects often
involve inclusive, collaborative design
processes; the teams including
designers in many allied engineering
fields, but also artists and crafts
people who have given their unique
insights in important ways as part
of the creative process to produce
inspired solutions.
MN+A has won a large number
of Australian and Tasmanian
architectural awards, including a
National Environmental Architecture
Award for the Forest EcoCentre in North East Tasmania,

and projects
have been regularly illustrated in
many Australian and international
publications, and Robert Morris-
Nunn has been invited to lecture at
many Australian and international conferences.
MN+A is based in Hobart, located
within the redeveloped IXL Jam
Factory warehouses in Hunter Street,
Sullivanʼs Cove, inhabiting office
space within the development for
which the practice was one of the
two original instigators. The practice
currently employs five architects,
undertaking projects primarily in
Tasmania but have also been
engaged in projects in NSW, Vic and
Qld.
