Arthur Circus, designed by Circa Morris-Nunn Chua Architects, is located in the heart of Battery Point, Tasmania. The new extension at the rear of the heritage cottage is an unassuming gable form sitting among the various outbuildings and pitched roofs of the area. Located in one of the most romanticised and cherished heritage precincts, the Circus is a relatively intact and uniform Georgian subdivision where properties are highly sought after and fiercely protected.
This is created by a clever play in floor levels which maximise ceiling height and carefully considered windows and skylights, which in turn disguises the buildings bordering the house on three sides. Arthur Circus won an award in 2021 for The Edith Emery Award for Alterations and Additions.
