We were very excited to have our first MADE review for our design for a Paragraph 79 house this week. The team at JDP are relishing the opportunity it gives to create something really special for the client.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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 definite recommend! Matt and his team have worked tirelessly with us on our project over the last 3 years. I think it’s stretched everyone and every aspect of the planning process, matt and his team have been happy to research, find and negotiate tweaks throughout to get planning permission done.”

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Thanks for all your support with the process. I am so glad I went with you for the design and project management, it’s been complicated with the house being listed and the location etc. I have felt confident throughout the process, thanks to your service. I am very pleased with my much improved home and I know it would have been I very challenging and stressful process without your help.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I worked closely with Johnson Design Partnership (JDP) on a number of complex and sensitive projects…within live acute hospital environments. JDP consistently demonstrated a strong understanding of the requirements inherent in such projects. Their approach combined robust technical capability with a clear appreciation of the constraints associated with delivering refurbishment works within occupied healthcare settings.
"
Throughout these commissions, JDP undertook substantial analytical, feasibility and optioneering work, applying their technical expertise and strategic insight to support major ward and hospital remodelling and refurbishment programmes. Their work was well structured, evidence-based and clearly presented, enabling informed decision-making at both project and programme level.
JDP worked collaboratively with Trust teams, clinicians and external stakeholders, responding constructively to challenge and demonstrating flexibility where operational requirements evolved. Their outputs were consistently of a high quality and aligned with Trust objectives, design standards and affordability constraints.Imperial College Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Our project was not the biggest in the whole grand scheme of things but Vic approached the design brief with enthusiasm and Matt guided us through the process, as project manager with patience and good advice. We were pleased that Johnsons Design Partnership are prepared to work on smaller projects as well as the bigger more flamboyant ones. We are really happy with the finished result.
