Circa Morris-Nunn Architects

Creating unique, innovative architecture grounded in place, memory and sustainability Circa Morris-Nunn was formed as an evolution of Morris-Nunn + Associates in 2010. While building on the strong design ethic of MN+A, this evolution reflects a subtle change in the direction of the practice to one of an even 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. Circa Morris-Nunn Architects believes that dialogue and collaboration both inside and outside the studio are core to our 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. A fundamental aim of Circa’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 resulting architecture has received considerable national and international recognition, producing tangible economic and cultural benefits not only to the immediate users, but also in the wider public realm, and thus transforming the way the community, in which the buildings form a part, perceives itself to be. Our buildings are creating cultural traditions of the future.
