Tanner Architects

Tanner Architects is an award-winning architectural practice based in Hobart, Tasmania, founded in 2001 by Stuart Tanner. The firm operates in various sectors, including residential, commercial, tourism, and public infrastructure. Tanner Architects is known for its commitment to designing spaces that respond thoughtfully to their context, whether urban, rural, or coastal, and for fostering collaboration with clients throughout the design process.

Notable projects by Tanner Architects include the Tolpuddle Tasting Room, located in the Coal River Valley just north of Hobart, which received multiple accolades at the 2025 Tasmanian Architecture Awards, including the Award for Commercial Architecture, a Commendation for Sustainable Architecture, and the EmAGN Project Award. Other significant works include Mays Point House, a coastal retreat that exemplifies a durable, tectonic structure enabling subdued spaces that bring focus to the expansive seascape location, and Elms House, a refined response to a quiet location overlooking Snug Bay in Tasmania’s southeast.

Tanner Architects' design approach emphasizes a holistic understanding of site qualities, building relationships to place, and curating the experience of architecture. The firm integrates interior design with architectural expertise to create harmonious projects that reflect clients' unique needs, functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.
This approach ensures that each project is thoughtfully tailored to its environment and purpose, resulting in enduring and meaningful architecture.
