This modern extension is taking shape at a grade II listed converted Rectory in the Shropshire Hills.
A frameless glass link is an excellent way to provide a seamless, minimal, and insulated connection between two different elements of a property. Structural glass links can be designed to be frameless and have an almost invisible connection between two structures, minimising the visual impact of the connection and providing shelter and insulation.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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?

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Johnson Design Partnership is a forward thinking and progressive Architectural Practice with a track record of successful projects to date. In my experience they always deliver to time scale and within budget and they bring a flair and innovative style that makes them a pleasure to work with I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future projects and particularly those involving difficult or complex Planning issues as they have proved in the past that their careful and considered strategic approaches to their projects and the needs of their clients ultimately ensures positive outcomes.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We engaged Johnson Design 4 years ago at the start of a big renovation and new build project. Matt Spinks has always taken our ideas or vague notions of an idea and turned them into something innovative which is both attractive and practical. We were delighted with the final plans which went straight through planning permission, even though part of the project was a Grade 2 listed renovation. As a project manager Matt has also been first rate and thoroughly supportive. We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Design.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We would recommend Johnson Design for those wanting to extend their home. They came up with an original concept and layout, moving the stairs was something we’d not even considered but it works really well. They then worked with us to accommodate our ideas, making the design collaborative. They talked us through the various stages of the process and explained everything, also because they handled everything it meant we didn’t need to get involved with the complexities of the planning process.
"Mr and Mrs Clary – Bridgnorth, Shropshire
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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 🙂
