Staff Accommodation & Boarding House Corridor Upgrade

Johnson Design Partnership (JDP) recently completed a vital project for Concord College in Shropshire, upgrading staff accommodation and linking previously separate areas of the boarding house with a new corridor. This upgrade was essential to meet the latest UK regulations for boarding houses, and we’re proud to have played a role in creating a safer, more connected environment for students and staff alike.

From the initial feasibility study through to planning and building regulation submissions, JDP managed the project at every stage. Our team was responsible for creating and coordinating construction packages, and we provided ongoing on-site support throughout the construction phase. The project was carefully programmed to fit within the school holidays, ensuring minimal disruption to students, and was completed just in time for the new term.

At JDP, we understand the importance of aligning architectural design with evolving regulations, ensuring that schools remain compliant while enhancing the safety and comfort of their students. Our expertise in school architecture design allows us to offer a full range of services, from feasibility studies for school construction to school renovation architecture, ensuring that educational facilities are designed for both present needs and future growth.

If you are looking for school renovation architects or need support for boarding house upgrades that meet the latest regulations, Johnson Design Partnership provides expert guidance every step of the way.

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.

It has always been such a delight to have you working in unison here with me and with difficult and sometimes impossible deadlines which we always managed to achieve.

It’s a refreshing change to have such good service these days. I really have no idea how your prices compare to other practices, but on the face of they look absolutely fine and look perfectly fair & reasonable, and if I’m honest, pleasantly surprising.

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.

We love this house and it is a testament to your skills that it works so well for us. I am hoping that you will be able to help us again when (if) we succeed in buying the run down (and badly designed) bungalow we want – I will be in touch soon, I hope

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?
