Jaws Architects

JAWSARCHITECTS is Tasmania's most dynamic and creative team of architects and designers. Evolving from the Hobart architectural practice founded in the 1930s by Harry Hope, JAWS has grown to become an innovative, multi award-winning architectural design practice that values the past and embraces the future. Based in Hobart, and with offices in Laun... ceston and Melbourne, JAWS is led by directors Neal Mackintosh, David Button and Scott Verdouw, with associates Fiona Graham, Catherine Williams and Hanz Lee and a talented team of passionate designers and architects. We encourage an interactive and collaborative design process, and harness the deep experience of our team, to ensure our best and most exciting ideas are realised in extraordinary design solutions. We work throughout Tasmania and collaborate on interstate projects with our extensive network of associate colleagues. JAWS specialises in thoughtful, sustainable architectural design with a focus on the social, cultural, environmental and commercial value and contribution of each project. Our diverse portfolio includes tourism, education, sport, health, local government, commercial and residential projects, as well as urban design, interior design and heritage and building conservation projects. We are recognised for our success in delivering innovative projects often located in environmentally sensitive areas. These projects have often required exceptionally complex design and construction solutions to be developed to ensure that they engage appropriately with their unique and precious surroundings. We're highly respected for our professionalism, creative innovation, and exceptional design. JAWS consistently delivers cost effective, sustainable and commercially savvy buildings with exemplary budget and project management and a passionate commitment to design excellence and meeting the needs and vision of our clients.Read More
