James Morrison and Yvette Breytenbach will speak about their experience coming to Lutruwita / Tasmania, finding their feet, and developing their architectural position and practise in a (very) different cultural, geographic, economic and political context.
James Morrison and Yvette Breytenbach
Morrison & Breytenbach Architects
Both architects and migrants, James Morrison and Yvette Breytenbach settled in Nipaluna / Hobart in 1991 where they co-founded Morrison & Breytenbach Architects which has been widely awarded for its educational, health, arts, single and multi-residential projects in Lutruwita / Tasmania.
James is committed to the integration of architecture and urban design, to the design of contemporary learning environments informed by current pedagogy, to Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) and to innovation that supports industry growth. His significant experience in the Green Building Council of Australia Green Star accreditation system led the practice to achieve Tasmania’s two earliest 6 – star Green Star As-Built Accredited buildings.
Yvette brings urban design and socio-spatial expertise to architecture. Her focus on ‘people and space’ saw her gain a post-graduate Social Science degree after some years in architectural practise. She has advocated for the benefits of inclusive, community focused design over the years.
Morrison & Breytenbach Architects’ all-round expertise across a wide range of building typologies integrating social and environmental sustainability, and energy efficiency is well evidenced in the practice’s many industry awards.
