Roger Nelson started practise in Western Australia in 1981 where he pursued a career with the architectural firm Hames Sharley concentrating on urban planning, architecture and business development. This led to a 10-year career and took him to New Zealand where he established the Auckland studio of Hames Sharley in 1987. In 1991 Roger returned to the Melbourne studio of Hames Sharley to assist with the rebuilding of that studio after the crash of 1987. Roger was new to Melbourne at that point and during that in initial period Roger saw an opportunity to start his own business and architectural practice which was initially called BN Group in 1994. Roger quickly established a reputation of a forthright master planner understanding consumer trends and particularly how cities work. The mixing of those skills enabled him to build a practise of 25 people by 1999 undertaking significant work for the major retail investment institutions at that stage including the Gandel Group, Colonial and Westfield. A seminal moment came for the practice in 1999 when Roger was able to manifest his long held urban designs aspirations into concepts of master planning and architectural design of the major city block on the Queen Victoria hospital site. The Melbourne City Council had bought this site in the year earlier and then put it to public tender in 1999. Roger’s ideas were taken up by Grocon and Colliers. This consortium put those ideas to the City and out of approximately 120 submissions was chosen as the preferred idea and bid for that site developed became the QV development. This launched a new phase of Rogers practice and upon meeting his partner Lyndon Hayward and then, Hamish Lyon, enabled the full development of QV to happen. This created a period of great contribution to the fabric of the city by the practice which became known as NH Architecture. These projects and contributions included, QV a whole city block of central Melbourne, QV1, QV2, Federation Square, Melbourne Central, Myer Melbourne, Melbourne Convention Centre, Southgate and the Southbank entertainment precinct, Margaret Court Arena and the MOPT precinct, current masterplans for Melbourne Arts centre, at Melbourne University, the Northern sector of Docklands and numerous infill projects within the CBD. Equally the studios work includes projects in the surrounding regions of the metropolitan area that have had equal influence. The overall theme of the work has its basis in the principle that successful cities are moulded through the perception of the public realm where buildings are part of the network. Also, that the public realm is a partnership between the publicly owned network and public space within the private network Roger also chaired the influential Melbourne Retail Advisory Board 2006 to 2012. The Board advised both the City of Melbourne and the Victorian State Government. The Board contributed strategic advice of the CoM work around the merging of Melbourne’s profile as a Business city, a Design city, and most importantly, a Public city. The Studio has been recognised by industry awards in Architecture and Urban Planning. This includes winning the AIAs “Melbourne prize” 4 times for contributions of architecture to the image of Melbourne. He was also made a fellow of the Australian Institute of Architects in 2021. He also continues his interest in the Urban Land Institute and contributes through his participation as a judge in the Asia Pacific awards program. Roger was Managing director for 6 years of NH Architecture. At the end of 2021 Roger retired form NH as a director and shareholder and is now working on allied projects and consulting. He maintains an exceptional sharp interest in urban planning and the challenges that the property and design professions face in the post pandemic world.
