July 16th, 2010
With Jasmax director Tim Hooson participating in a special CoreNet Pecha Kucha next week, now seems like a good time to post this story from ProDesign 107, about the architectural firm's move to a new Parnell base.

Photos: Becky Nunes. Advertising agencies have had a number of heydays – the 50s, the 80s (up to ’87, of course), perhaps the late 90s and early 00s (up to ’09, perhaps). [...]
Modern Opera
May 14th, 2010
Opera Kitchen, bringing together the best of the Hawkes Bay. Photos: Brian Culy. Cover story from issue 106 with additional images.

Clinical Trials
March 11th, 2010
Breeding an atmosphere of good health at a new woman’s health clinic. Photos: Emma-Jane Hetherington. (From ProDesign 105 with additional drawings and photos.) Medical clinics, well-worn places where the lino wraps up the walls and the tang of disinfectant hangs heavily in the air. In the waiting room it’s hot, too hot, and the carpet is as [...]
