We are pleased to see one of our completed residential design projects has recently come back onto the property market, marking a satisfying full-circle moment for the design team. Originally completed some time ago, the scheme has now been listed for sale, providing an opportunity to reflect on how the design vision has translated into a finished home that continues to perform well in the market.
The project was developed through the concept and planning stages to unlock the full potential of the property, incorporating a wrap-around single-storey extension alongside a new two-storey rear extension. The design focused on improving both space and functionality while creating a home that feels open, bright, and closely connected to its outdoor setting.
Key features of the completed scheme include a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forming the central hub of the home, strong visual and physical connections to the garden, a new master bedroom suite with en-suite facilities, and improved family living spaces designed to maximise natural light and flexibility throughout. The result is a home that balances modern living requirements with practical, everyday functionality.
Looking back at the project, the early concept sketches and planning drawings remain a valuable part of the design story, showing how initial ideas evolved into a fully resolved scheme that was successfully delivered on site. The comparison between concept, planning, and completion continues to highlight the importance of thoughtful residential extension design in achieving long-term value and usability.
J.R. Construction & Renovations Ltd carried out the build phase, delivering the project with care and attention to detail, ensuring the original design intent was faithfully translated into the finished home.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We looked at a couple of different Architect Practices whilst deciding on which to use for our house renovation, and immediately warmed to the team at Johnson Design Partnership Ltd. They were smart, professional, and following a visit to the property issued us with a comprehensive plan… We were both very impressed at the understanding and the detail that had gone in to finding out exactly what we wanted… Johnson Design Partnership handled the tender process with the Building contractors and again we were very happy with the choice that we made…. There was nothing left to chance and the whole team were a pleasure to work with… We really are very pleased with how the house was transformed throughout the five months that the builders were deconstructing it and then reconstructing it, and the end results are amazing, we love our home, and would and have recommended Johnson Design Partnership to friends and family alike

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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.

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐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 highly recommend using Vic Johnson and his team at Johnson Design Partnership Limited, who have been appointed to create exciting designs for our new home and to lead the tendering and construction process. Vic and his colleague Becky Bradley have used their considerable depth of knowledge to develop exciting designs and are providing very helpful guidance as required through the decision-making process, whilst also focussing on projected costs and optimising the use of our available budget.
