Since 1987 Morton+Co Architects (previously known as Morton Dunn Architects) has forged a reputation as one of the best resourced architectural practices in regional Victoria.

BRIEF HISTORY

Established in 1987, Morton Dunn Architects began building their name as an architectural firm delivering exemplary architectural solutions in both residential and commercial projects in regional Victoria, particularly in Ballarat.
