Team

In 2025, Jemma founded BlokHuis, one of Western Australia’s first architectural practices specialising in design using prefabrication principles. Through BlokHuis, Jemma practices her belief that prefabrication has an important part to play in delivering architect-designed buildings to Western Australians.

Jemma is a pragmatist by nature. She values simplicity, authenticity and being a good human. For her, the most rewarding part of being an architect is working with other people to bring a shared idea into reality.

With over 15 years of architectural experience in Western Australia, her focus for the last five years has been exclusively on the prefabrication industry. Recognising the significant potential of off-site construction and driven to understand it in depth, she established and led a design team for a leading prefabrication construction group based in Henderson, Western Australia. This role gave her a deep, practical understanding of prefabrication — from early design through to manufacture and delivery — and a clear perspective on its application within architecture.

Outside of BlokHuis, Jemma needs to run, swim and surf to keep up with the people and dogs in her life. Her favourite travel destination is Japan. More recently she has taken up wing foiling to keep things interesting.
