Bishopscourt Apartments

Circa Morris-Nunn design this adaptive reuse project of the home of the Anglican Bishop of Hobart for over 100 years and now is adapted into three new units, one created inside the old house, a second unit which incorporated the schoolhouse, and a third self contained unit at the very rear portion of the site, abutting the boundary hedge which defines the property from the corner of Regent St and Fitzroy Place. The materiality of the new additions does not visually overwhelm the old schoolhouse but still allows for the large extension to work well, being hidden behind a vertical wooden fence that acts to create an enclosure to the family garden to the north.
