Completed last week was one of the first phases in a multi-million pound scheme to regenerate the internal spaces of the Royal Free Hospital, Hampstead, London.
As part of a huge redevelopment of the Royal Free Hospital, Johnson Design were appointed to create designs and project manage a brand new Discharge Lounge & Transport Suite intended to facilitate the flow of patients out of the hospital.
Key focusses aimed at improving patient experience and enriching the stereotypically mundane and dull clinical environment which is usually prevalent in older Hospitals. The design aimed to create a interesting and energising surrounding where patients could wait with more stimulation than the average waiting area. Completed on budget and on time the user’s of the facility have already begun to have their say…
“I like the new design it offers a larger patient space than we are used to, it flows well and it is a dynamic design providing a great environment for patients and staff” – Dave Reavy Logistics Manager The Royal Free Hospital Hampstead
‘It’s a clever design it enables efficient staff and patient interaction a great result and an innovative concept”. – Dave Reavy Logistics Manager The Royal Free Hospital Hampstead

Reviews"We would be happy recommending Johnson Design Partnership; we found them easy to work with and responsive to our changes and questions
"Mr and Mrs Mancey – Shrewsbury, Shropshire
"“We wanted a small extension to the rear of our property, to create an open-plan kitchen dining area. Vic and Matt helped us understand what could be achieved ticking all our wish list and more by also adding a utility and downstairs toilet creating a space we didn’t think was possible. They supported us at every stage of the project through to completion, providing their expertise every step of the way, making the whole process painless. We are really pleased with the result, turning our house into our dream family home.”

"Many thanks to Johnson Design for delivering exactly what we wanted: A bright, flexible, modern space which brings the garden and the lovely views of the upper Corvedale into our home, without losing anything of the character and warmth of our historic stone farmhouse. The family home of nearly 30 years has been greatly enhanced, giving a perfect blend of old and new, and the perfect venue for entertaining and family get-togethers. The extension was the proud focus for our wedding celebration and garden party for more than 100 guests over the Bank Holiday weekend, and bought in more admiring comments than we could count!
"Mr and Mrs Coad - Much Wenlock
"I thoroughly enjoyed working through the design process with Johnson Design Partnership. They explained what was required each step of the way and achieved Planning Permission for my Paragraph 79 / House, first time! (Resolution to grant consent).
I would always recommend Johnson Design Partnership to anyone looking to create an Architecturally exciting project or indeed another successful paragraph 80 house.
"Simon Aldridge, Paragraph 79 House
"I have known Vic Johnson over several years during which time he has carried out several successful college projects with his company Johnson Design Partnership. Last year the company was short listed for a major design guide project for the Learning and Skills Council itself. Johnson Designs dedication, efficiency and track record make them ideally suited for a range of College projects and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for such schemes.
"Roger Taylor, Director of Property and Facilities for Learning and Skills Council, Learning and Skills Council
"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.
"Diane Malyon
"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?
"Mr and Mrs Farrell - Stretton Hills, Shropshire
"I have now been living for two years in a house designed by Johnson Partnership. Matt Spinks and his team were our main contacts and we were delighted in the way they handled and developed our brief. The test of course is whether the house works as a home in winter and summer. This Johnson design passes the test with flying colours: the house meets all of our requirements for a comfortable, warm, airy and modern home.
