JTP Studios welcomes visitors for Open House London Festival 2021

Published on 15 September 2021

JTP was delighted to showcase our award-winning studio at Pennington Street Warehouse, London Dock, Wapping for this year’s London Open House Festival.

Over 180 visitors joined us to explore the Grade 2 Listed warehouse which JTP imaginatively transformed into a healthy, creative, collaborative and sustainable architectural studio.

Guided tours shared the fascinating stories of the history of the warehouse, its previous uses and occupants and that of the surrounding London Dock area. During the tours, visitors were told of JTP’s ambitions and challenges in transforming the warehouse into a reimagined, unique workplace.

Guests were particularly interested to learn how the studio was designed to encourage health, sustainability and wellbeing and our passion from the design outset to create a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) free working environment. Our goal was achieved with a post-occupancy air quality assessment of “undetectable” and a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating. This was very well aligned with the festival’s theme of ‘Architecture and Wellbeing’, and we were proud to promote our efforts in accomplishing this objective.

It was a great tour, with so many interesting features that I’d never seen in an office space before, that just make sense! These should definitely be implemented in other workspaces!

We were incredibly impressed by the number of visitors who had travelled from afar to join us on the day and also the fantastic turnout from local neighbours and community groups.

At the end of the tours, we invited visitors to write comments and feedback about their experience visiting our studios and were pleased by the enthusiasm and positivity, as shown in some of the quotes below:

“
I really enjoyed the stories behind the building and what motivated the design, particularly the fact that JTP considered their employees, putting them at the heart of the design.

A beautifully renovated, sympathetic and organic design to fit with a listed building!
