Please note that we will be closed from Monday, December 25th, and will reopen on Tuesday, January 2nd.
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It had taken eighteen months for us to decide that we would re-locate to the ‘Strettons’. Moving house for us meant also moving an established ceramics and painting studio, we were concerned about finding a property within our budget that would also have the appropriate space.
It was obvious from our early property searches that finding the perfect ‘fit’ was very unlikely, so we took the opportunity to visit an open information weekend run by Johnson Design Partnership. We were immediately encouraged by what we saw and once we had purchased the property, we invited Johnson Design to visit and take a look.
Our original idea was to do a loft conversion as planning permission was already in place, but after a couple of exploratory meetings it became clear that this was unlikely to exploit the position of the property to its best advantage or indeed answer our need for comfortable bespoke studio space. These design conversations helped us focus on the true potential of the property, gradually the idea of a glass link between the original house and separate garage emerged as the way forward.
The final result is overwhelmingly better than we imagined it might be. ‘The Link ‘ has already become a creative centre, providing a light and airy space connecting inside and outside areas from both studio and house; not only is it a functional dining and living area but a truly peaceful and contemplative place to soak up the stunning changes in light of the sky and the landscape which surround us, but also a space to dream and imagine – a painting or ceramic form in the making?

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐A good Architectural practice, producing aesthetically modern buildings. Keen and enthusiastic, a pleasure to work with.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Johnson Design Partnership consistently delivered a series of high-quality and successful strategic feasibility studies, development options appraisals, and major ward refurbishment projects for the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead. Throughout these commissions, JDP demonstrated effective project analysis, a strong understanding of the clinical environment, operational constraints of live hospital settings, and the rigorous governance, programme, and stakeholder engagement requirements associated with acute healthcare estates. I am pleased to confirm that, in my role as Director of Capital Projects for the Essentia Group, I have also been impressed by Johnson Design Partnership Ltd’s (JDP) service delivery on a major ward refurbishment and ward improvement works scheme. The project involved re-design, refurbishment, and upgrade of general adult ward, delivered in response to winter pressures, with schemes designed to allow subsequent conversion to paediatric facilities. Across all projects, JDP proved to be a reliable and proactive consultant, providing clear leadership, well coordinated multi-disciplinary design input, and pragmatic, deliverable solutions aligned with both clinical needs and capital cost constraints.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I am extremely pleased with my new extension and kitchen and with the overall ease with which it has been achieved.
"Chris de Souza – Much Wenlock, Shropshire
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐As well as our thanks, we would like to add our congratulations on steering our application to approval first time – with no hitches or refusals! This success, we feel, must be a result of your skill, expertise and carefully timed discussions and consultations throughout the planning process. – We have no hesitation in recommending your work.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We had plans done ready to go in case we got funding for my Gp surgery extension/ refurb from NHSE. This came very last minute with stipulations to use it before the end of the financial year. Johnson Design got all the necessary people in place and finalised quotes and palms in a very short timeframe and ensured that all conformed to NHS standards so that all went very smoothly. This involved ensuring that we could work at the site in portacabins.
The patients love our new building and the work thankfully enabled us to function very successfully through Covid.
"Dr Pickavance at Newbridge Surgery
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I have recently finished my third project with Johnson Design! Two at my work premises and one residential. Matt Spinks is great to work with and always has great ideas and attention to detail. Will come back for any future projects 🙂
"Lucy LC
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“We have just finished an extension to our kitchen and dealt with Matt at JDP from the beginning to the end of the project. He was very professional throughout and I would recommend anyone to use JDP for their build project.”
