Open Practice: Paul Johnston Architects And Heritage
Upper Level City Hall Market Place, Hobart
Paul Johnston Architects, have over 20 years of architectural design and heritage conservation experience, and completed major conservation works to Domain House (1850) for the University of Tasmania, Heritage Management Plans for MONA (1956, 2010), the Theatre Royal, (1837) and the Queen’s Orphan Schools (1830). The practice has recently contributed to the Australian pavilion of the 2023 Venice Biennale, and has received national design award recognition for the adaptive reuse of an inner city garage into an award-winning restaurant.
City Hall Hobart was a competition design by ‘Rusty’ Butler and constructed with architects Ricards and Heyworth in the Federation Warehouse style with Romanesque and Anglo-Dutch influences.
The office is within the original Ladies Lounge servicing the hall mezzanine and later fitted out by the RAIA in a Post Modern design.

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
