Jasper’s core focus within Voxell is bespoke residential homes. He places high importance on understanding his clients’ unique vision, and helping them formalize this into a tailored architectural outcome through strong collaboration. He understands that one size definitely doesn't fit all, and makes sure that the unique values of the site, client and brief are all intimately considered. 

From a young age, Jasper had a passion for art and drawing, which eventually led him down the path of architecture. For Jasper, the process of formalizing something as technical as the built form through an artistic lens is incredibly satisfying. After completing his master's degree at Victoria University of Wellington, he gained experience at S&T, a renowned NZ architecture practice, where he worked on design projects for the Christchurch rebuild. Jasper has also delivered other large-scale projects, including the Tonga Meteorological Centre in Tonga and the redevelopment of Hornby High School, as well as a property development project located in Lower Hutt.

Jasper’s top projects to date are the award winning renovation works at 66 Seaview, and the rural land development at 51 Seafield Road, in Napier. His role within both projects started from the outset with concept establishment, leading through to working drawings and Building Consent. The renovation works at Seaview also involved an extensive on-site presence due to the remedial nature of the works. This provided great experience, and while messy at times, was a great experience overall. 

Outside of work, Jasper can be found honing his skills on the basketball court, jamming to 90s Hip Hop, and exploring Wellington's craft beer scene. Jasper believes the most important aspect of designing is to simply implement flexibility. He places high importance on understanding the client’s vision and helping that to emerge through collaboration, rather than imposing his own aesthetic style upon them.

Jesse's passion for architecture began as a child, drawing buildings, building huts, and creating with Lego. A defining moment at age 8, observing a friend's new bach's frame, solidified their desire for this career. Transforming ideas into reality brings him immense satisfaction and a chance to positively impact the world.

Jesse's work journey spans various studios and projects in New Zealand and abroad. He started with supermarket and shopping center concepts, moved to apartments, bespoke houses, and renovations. Private practice in the U.S. led him to civic and luxury hospitality projects, utilizing parametric processes. He later explored co-housing and 'vernacular modernism,' striving to create housing the market lacks.

Jesse's core passion remains building better urban housing tied to New Zealand's culture and environment. He feels a profound responsibility to future generations and seeks a sustainable relationship with nature. Implementing innovative ideas on a larger scale is also exciting.
