About Jasmax
Jasmax is a renowned architecture and design practice that has been operating for over fifty years in Aotearoa New Zealand. The company has established itself as a leader in bicultural and sustainable design, with a focus on creating innovative and functional spaces that meet the needs of their clients.
The company was founded by Sir Miles Warren, Maurice Mahoney, Ivan Mercep, and Graeme John Boucher in 1964. Since then, Jasmax has grown to become one of the largest architecture firms in New Zealand with offices located throughout the country.
Jasmax's success can be attributed to its commitment to excellence in design and its ability to adapt to changing trends and technologies. The company's team of architects, designers, engineers, planners, and project managers work collaboratively on each project to ensure that every detail is considered.
One of Jasmax's core values is sustainability. The company believes that it has a responsibility to create buildings that are environmentally responsible while also meeting the needs of their clients. To achieve this goal, Jasmax incorporates sustainable design principles into every aspect of their projects from site selection through construction.
Another key area where Jasmax excels is biculturalism. As a third-generation architecture firm from Aotearoa New Zealand (the Maori name for New Zealand), Jasmax recognizes the importance of incorporating Maori culture into its designs. This approach not only respects Maori culture but also creates unique spaces that reflect the local environment.
Jasmax's portfolio includes an impressive range of projects across various sectors including commercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare facilities, residential developments as well as cultural institutions such as museums and art galleries.
One notable example is Te Papa Tongarewa Museum located in Wellington which was designed by Jasmax along with international partners Shigeru Ban Architects (Japan) and Warren & Mahoney (New Zealand). This iconic building showcases both contemporary Maori culture alongside natural history exhibits making it one-of-a-kind museum experience for visitors from all over the world.
In addition to designing award-winning buildings across New Zealand; Jasmax also works internationally on projects such as Singapore’s Changi Airport Terminal 4 which won numerous awards including World Architecture Festival’s Best Transport Building Award 2018
