Born in Newcastle, New South Wales, Morris-Nunn studied architecture at the University of Sydney. His name until at least his twenties was Robert Arthur Nunn. The importation of "William Morris" and the dropping of his father's given name, Arthur must have occurred after he reached his twenties. From 1979 to 1984 he was principal designer for Glenn Smith Associates in Launceston. During this time he explored Tasmania's heritage buildings, including Australia's richest collection of Georgian buildings. He has been involved in many heritage projects since, often in collaboration with artists and craftspeople. He has consulted to the National Trust of Australia (Tasmania) and the Tasmanian Heritage Commission on the classification of buildings from both the 19th and 20th centuries.

After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1972 and moving to Tasmania, Morris-Nunn began lecturing part-time in design at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) alongside his professional practice. In 2006 he completed a Master of Architecture (by invitation) from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). He continues to lecture at UTAS, and was an adjunct professor in the School of Architecture and Design from 2009–2013.

All of Morris-Nunn's works are in Tasmania, Australia. From restored and reimagined heritage building including the Henry Jones Art Hotel and IXL buildings, Macquarie Wharf Number 2 Shed, Princes Wharf Number 1 Shed to new builds including Mac 01, Morris-Nunn has played a major in shaping the waterfront area of Tasmania's capital city, Hobart. The floating building Brooke Street Pier, was the first of its kind in Australia. It includes the ferry terminal to the art museum, Museum of Old and New Art (Mona).
