  • Hello there! I’m Karl Johnson. I am a Chartered Architect and a Director/Co-owner of JLP Architects. With a dual background as a Project Manager and Contract Administrator, I offer a comprehensive, end-to-end approach to the building process—ensuring that design vision is matched by technical precision and budgetary control. A Versatile Portfolio My experience spans a diverse range of sectors. Whether you are looking to develop a private residence or a large-scale public facility, I bring the same level of dedication to every blueprint. My portfolio includes: • Residential: High-end bespoke homes and multi-unit developments. • Commercial & Retail: Functional, brand-aligned workspaces and consumer environments. • Municipal: Community-focused civic and public buildings. "No project is too small or too complex." I pride myself on being adaptable, welcoming inquiries for everything from minor renovations to major capital developments. Specialist Consultancy Services Beyond traditional design, I provide essential technical services to ensure your project is compliant, safe, and accessible: • Party Wall Surveys: Navigating legal requirements and neighborly negotiations. • Access Audits: Ensuring inclusivity and compliance with modern accessibility standards. • Fire Risk Assessments (FRA): Prioritizing safety and regulatory adherence. • And more: From feasibility studies to site inspections, I provide the expert oversight your project demands. Why Work With Me? By combining architectural creativity with the rigorous discipline of project management, I bridge the gap between "the drawing board" and "the building site." My goal is to make the development process seamless, transparent, and ultimately successful for my clients.
