Jasmax has expanded its presence in Australia by joining forces with Melbourne-based practice Canvas Projects. The move builds on the New Zealand-founded architecture and design firm’s 2022 entry into the market with the opening of its Sydney studio.

The Melbourne studio enables Jasmax to pursue opportunities across Victoria, particularly in education, health, transport and cultural sectors. The integration of Canvas Projects brings with it a strong portfolio of civic and community-focused work, including K–12 schools, aquatic centres and multi-purpose hubs delivered for local and state government clients.

With more than 250 staff across Australia and New Zealand, Jasmax offers multi-disciplinary services in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, urban design and masterplanning. The practice brings decades of experience in complex, city-making infrastructure and is known for its commitment to sustainable and Indigenous design.

Following the union, the Canvas Projects team has been incorporated into Jasmax, with directors Nick Gamble, Jeff Gabriel and Michelle Harris appointed as Jasmax principals. Harris leads the new Melbourne studio.
