Evolving from the Hobart architectural practice founded by Harry Hope in the 1930’s, JAWS Architects has grown to become an innovative, multi-award winning architectural design practice that values the past and embraces the future. JAWS is recognised with innovative projects often located in environmentally sensitive areas, such as the award-winning Three Cape Track Cabins, Pumphouse Point Pavilions, the Mt Field Visitor Centre/Waterfall Cafe and on kunanyi/Mt Wellington, both the St Crispins Well platform and the existing summit shelter. 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, and it is a pleasure to welcome JAWS to the team.
Our design journey takes shape with JAWS Architects Scott Verdouw and Neal Macintosh as they Wrangle with massing, circulation, services, cladding and glazing considerations. With experts from every field providing valuable input, the final design is not too far away!
