Thank you to all those who attended the extremely successful launch of the new JPE, held on Thursday 14th August 2008.

A glowing marquee located on top of the Satisfac carpark, Holland Street, in the city was the unique setting for Elevation, the re-branding party which overlooked two flood-lit building sites. The sites, currently under construction were highlighted to showcase the three new developments designed by JPE; the Wave, The Edge and Hills Industries new headquarters. Management, staff, friends and clients enjoyed a banquet of Chinese hors d'oeuvres, fine wine and a contemporary Jazz band that stylized the mood on the cold August evening.

The new brand represents the new JPE entering a new phase of innovation, energy and design attitude. Our ethos is to be the best design practice in South Australia through our identity and our product. World, here we are.
