History
Richard Morrow Hunter was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. He studied architecture at the University of Colorado and the School of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma. After graduating from the University of Oklahoma in 1958, Hunter established his practice initially in California and Alaska before he moved to Victoria, British Columbia, in 1968. He married Frances Mead in 1963 in Kyoto, Japan. His work is influenced by the American organic school, notably Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff, and the drawings of German architect Eric Mendelsohn. Hunter’s major projects were largely residences located in Victoria and the Pacific Coast area, including Cook Residence, House for Jean-Louis Denux, House for Margaret Haines, his own residence, Hunter Residence, which he worked on for over 50 years beginning in 1970, House Addition for Jim & Phillippa Kerr, Killam Residence, Martin Residence, Pumple House, Rankin Residence, The Rose Residence, Garden for Mr. & Mrs. Ken Sebryk, and Sievert Residence. Projects outside of the Victoria area include the Intermediate Care Home in Terrace, B.C., the Mt. Baldy Zen Centre and Bathhouse in California, House for Deborah Pomeroy and the Rabinowitz Residence, both in Fairbanks, Alaska, Kyozan Joshu Sasaki in California, and House and Garden for Motozo and Haruko Torii in Kyoto, Japan.
