Julian McIntosh Architects

At JMA, we centre every design on our three fundamental principles of light, layout, and flow. Crafting this open plan kitchen/living room in Bromley, we used careful window design to infuse the space with natural light. In this residence, we opted for expansive glass doors, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor realms, offering picturesque views of the garden. Such fluidity fosters a harmonious connection between various sections of the house, fostering an inviting atmosphere for family gatherings.

Communicating through sketches is something that we do a lot at JMA. Here are some sketches in the office going over ideas for one of our projects. We try to do lots of different sketches to get lots of ideas that we can implement into our clients projects. These will usually be the beginnings our our design process and become the sleek visuals you end up seeing. Enjoy this insight on how we create.

We had a lovely time at our team Christmas party this week. It was nice to catch up with friends and colleagues. We're looking forward to upcoming Christmas break and to getting on with some exciting new projects this new year. We hope that everyone has a nice Christmas and Happy New Year!

Here is the Staircase Design at The Retreat Project. In this snapshot, we showcase a standout feature in our contemporary open-plan room. We worked closely with the client and our team to create a vision of the glass balustrade extending up the wall, making the staircase a defining element of the space.

Collaborating closely with sub-contractors during the construction phase, we ensured the glass balustrade was not just aesthetically pleasing but also met the highest standards of toughness and safety. Through a series of in-depth discussions and meetings, we fine-tuned the design, thinking about how to maximise space and make the staircase a stand out part of the design. Flick through to see some pictures of the construction process which is making this design come to life.
