JAWSARCHITECTS, one of Tasmania's most dynamic and enterprising team of architects and designers, has evolved from the architectural practice founded by Harry Hope in the 1930s. The practice encourages an interactive and collaborative design process within the office to produce exciting ideas that draw from a wide range of experiences.

The present directors of the company are Jamieson Allom, Neal Mackintosh, David Button and Scott Verdouw.

JAWSARCHITECTS is based in Hobart, however our 16 staff carry out commissions all around Tasmania, with occasional interstate work in collaboration with mainland colleagues.

Our work includes educational, health, tourism, local government, commercial and residential projects as well as urban design, interior design and building conservation.

We actively pursue a diversity of projects and are highly regarded for our fiscal management and our ability to produce economic, efficient buildings whilst maintaining a passionate commitment to design excellence and the needs of the client.

The firm's commitment to design quality is evidenced by the numerous awards and commendations it has received.

The company launched JAWS2 (we design things) in 2001 as a discrete business unit operating independently and offering design services complementary to JAWS, enriching the spirit of our architecture.

The company operates a Quality Management system which complies with the requirements of the Department of Treasury and Finance in Tasmania.
