Jas is a qualified architect, town planner and urban designer with over 17 years of experience in regenerative masterplanning, strategic urbanism, and housing design at all scales. Given his dual training, Jas specialises in negotiating the complexities of the planning system to deliver well crafted, thoughtful, and enduring architecture and urbanism.
