Circa Morris Nunn Architects

Circa MN Architects was formed in 2010 by directors Robert Morris‑Nunn & Ganche Chua as an evolution of Morris-Nunn & Associates. While building on the strong design ethic of MNA, this evolution reflects a subtle change in the direction of the practice to one of a more inclusive, studio based design approach that draws from a wide range of experience, values and expertise and allows a creative inventiveness unique to our office. CircaMN believes that dialogue and collaboration (both inside & outside the studio) is core to our successful projects. It allows each new design to be examined from first principles, and a unique solution to be forwarded. A fundamental aim of CircaMN's work (and that of MNA previously over the years) is to explore ways in which architecture can be more enlightened and socially humane. 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 - Architecture that brings tangible economic and cultural benefits not only to the imediate users but also to the wider public. Projects range in scope & scale from large scale public projects such as the IXL Redevelopment, Macquarie Wharf No. 2 and Princess Wharf Precinct through to exclusive hotels, The Henry Jones, Islington & Saffire, and also include residential schemes both large and small, St Canice Apartments and Goulburn St House.
