John Pardey Archi tects was establ ished

in 1988 as a sole t rader pract ice in

conjunct ion with teaching at severa l

schools of archi tecture. The pract ice

launched in 2000 and now employs 12

staff . From in i t ia l success in one-off

houses, we have over the last ten years

gained consent for c.2600 res ident ia l

un i ts, ranging f rom a 713 uni t scheme

in north London, to a group of r ivers ide

houses in L I t t lehampton.

Being a medium-sized pract ice, we can

offer c l ients a personal serv ice with the

involvement of John at a l l stages of

the design process. We punch above

our weight and have the expert ise and

exper ience to del iver complex res ident ia l

pro jects successfu l ly.

Our partner ing with large internat ional

f i rms of archi tecture a lso g ives us the

unique opportuni ty to design large

schemes both in the UK and abroad.

The pract ice has gained some th i r ty-

n ine nat ional and internat ional des ign

awards and our work has been widely

exhib i ted and publ ished. John Pardey

has held post-graduate teaching posts at

Canterbury and Portsmouth univers i t ies

and been an external examiner at Cardi ff

and Oxford Univers i t ies. He is author of

two books on Danish archi tecture.

John Pardey was appointed to

the Nat ional Review Panel of the

Commiss ion for Archi tecture and the

Bui l t Env i ronment in January 2009.

RIBA Awards 2001, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013

In our res ident ia l des igns we recognise

the need to work c losely wi th c l ients, the

consul tant team, local author i t ies and

other stakeholders.

In addi t ion to c l ient ’s requi rements,

today’s res ident ia l pro jects have to

comply wi th a p lethora of standards –

Code for Susta inable Homes, L i fet ime

Homes, RSL and Local Author i ty

standards, HQI and Bui ld ing Regulat ions

– so a thorough knowledge of these

requirements is something we constant ly

audi t and br ing to bear on each pro ject .

Our approach to large res ident ia l

schemes begins by analys ing the c l ient ’s

requi rements and then the s i te, i ts

context , constra ints and opportuni t ies

The planning process behind larger

res ident ia l schemes has become

very complex in recent years, whi le

the demands for certa in spat ia l and

construct ional standards, has a lso

become very demanding.

Over the last few years, we have

designed over 2600 uni ts on the

schemes i l lustrated here and have

successfu l ly achieved planning consents

on a l l schemes to date.

We work regular ly wi th other

profess ionals such as p lanning

consul tants, landscape archi tects, m+e,

structura l and h ighways engineers,

quant i ty surveyors, susta inabi l i ty and

ecology experts and we enjoy dr iv ing the

team forward to a successfu l p lanning

appl icat ion.

We have great exper ience and enjoy

present ing schemes di rect ly to p lanning

off icers and other stakeholders.

and combin ing th is wi th or ientat ion and

aspect. From th is we establ ish a concept

approach to p lan the layout and set

out a ‘set of ru les’ for the archi tecture

– a way of sett ing out parameters for

massing, mater ia l i ty and form that

ensures a coherence across a scheme.

With a set of ru les, the development

of a design can proceed whi le a strong

overa l l approach remains intact and

th is makes for a posi t ive and constant

evolut ion of a design.

We work us ing f reehand sketches

and computer models to develop and

expla in the steps, cu lminat ing in deta i led

rendered plans, e levat ions and computer

generated images.

From ear ly concept studies, we develop

our schemes in 3D us ing Sketchup

professs ional programme, which a l lows

c l ients and consul tants to be fu l ly

involved at every step of the design

process.

Oaklands Col lege is a post-war former

educat ional campus in St. A lbans, wi th

seven grade I I l is ted modern bui ld ings

set wi th in the St Albans Conservat ion

Area.

The Oaklands campus bui ld ings, l is ted in

2002, represent perhaps the h igh point

of 1960s educat ional bui ld ings.

Fol lowing a p lanning refusal for a

t radi t ional br ick and t i le housing scheme

(by others) we were appointed as design

archi tects, to work a longside the lead

consul tant and master p lanner, for a

rev ised contemporary apartment scheme

that would complement the ex ist ing

modernist pav i l ions.

New apartment b locks are p lanned in

a campus arrangement across the s i te

o a k l a n d s , s t a l b a n s

which is ak in to a park land threaded

between some 200 mature t rees.

A design language was der ived f rom the

centra l group of reta ined l is ted bui ld ings,

tak ing in the rect i l inear bui ld ing shape

and by adding layers in an addi t ive

approach, we arr ived at a bui ld ing

design that responded to i ts sett ing

with in the l is ted campus as wel l as

hav ing i ts own presence.

Upon gain ing p lanning permiss ion

for the s i te, the pro ject was sold to

another developer. We were reta ined

as execut ive archi tects, overseeing a l l

p lanning issues as wel l as the qual i ty of

the deta i l des ign.

The scheme for 339 apartments was

completed in 2010.

The Oak lands scheme was featured as an exemplar in CABE’s ‘Des ign Rev iewed 2’ pub l icat ion in 2005

The seven Grade I I l is ted bui ld ings,

born of the post-war mater ia l shortages,

are important due to the ‘k i t of parts’

nature of the i r construct ion, based on

the min imum number of stee l sect ions

welded together to form a f rame that has

th in r ibbed concrete f loors – and th is

was c lad in a bespoke a lumin ium curta in

wal l system. Two of the b locks were to

be reta ined as a per formance hal l and a

gymnasium.

F ive of the ex ist ing col lege bui ld ings

were converted to res ident ia l use –

the i r open plan layouts a l lowed for

a successfu l replanning without any

impact f rom the publ ic rea lm. The design

concept for the apartments takes the

idea of centra l ‘cores’ conta in ing the

serv iced e lements – r isers, dra inage,

bathrooms and k i tchens – which by

carefu l l p lacement in the open plans,

orders a l l surronding spaces into

work ing, s leeping or l iv ing areas – a

k ind of archi tectura l chess p iece in each

bui ld ing. These cores are designed as

t imber-c lad or coloured e lements, ak in to

a p iece i f furn i ture set wi th in the p lan.

owners of the former Rank F i lm

Processing Laboratory’s s i te

commiss ioned JPA to create a new

res ident ia l development incorporat ing

the Grade I I l is ted former f i lm laboratory

bui ld ing.

The s i te conta ins some 25 bui ld ings

inc luding the l is ted f i lm processing

bui ld ing designed by the German emigre

and founder of the Bauhaus, Walter

Gropius in 1936, which remains one

of the few surv iv ing examples of ear ly

‘ funct ional ist ’ archi tecture in Br i ta in.

Located on the North Orbi ta l Road yet

bounded to the north by the Colne Val ley

Park SSSI, the s i te is a ten minute walk

f rom main l ine serv ice into Mary lebone.

The masterplan is based on Gropius’s

design approach f rom the 1930’s in

creat ing a ser ies z ig zag blocks that

inter lock around rectangular courtyard

spaces. Thre apartrment b locks create

a backdrop to the l is ted bui ld ing, wi th

houses forming streets and courts

beyond.

Convers ion of the l is ted bui ld ing was

ass isted by the modular nature of the

ex ist ing bui ld ing which prov ides an

ideal f ramework for the prov is ion of

48 No 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments. The

only intervent ion is the subt le insert ion

of an atr ium into the deep plan former

product ion area.

Two ex ist ing prev iew c inemas are

reta ined and refurb ished as a f i lm c lub.

The s i te s i ts on the banks of a large

reservoi r on Green Lanes in Hackney.

Two new blocks f rame a wide publ ic

space that fu l f i l ls the Area Act ion Plan’s

ambit ion to create a new publ ic l ink to

the footpath c i rc l ing the reservoi r.

The design employs a s imple two-tone

br ick palet te wi th z inc c lad att ic soreys,

whi le a ta l ler b lock onto the reservoi r is

c lad in bronze anodised a lumin ium. To

the main publ ic f rontages, balconies are

set back with in large br ick apertures,

whi le a long the new publ ic route, they

pro ject to animate the route and prov ide

Col indale has been ident i f ied as one of

the most s igni f icant areas for growth

and regenerat ion in London – i t is a

c lassic North London suburb that lacks

real cohesiveness and ident i ty. At the

heart of Col indale l ies the Northern l ine

tube stat ion, which adjoins the former

Victor ian hospita l s i te.

John Pardey Architects, working

alongside Barton Wi l lmore Planning,

developed the design for th is 6.2 HA

mixed-use scheme. A new square

addresses Col indale Avenue with a

redesigned tube stat ion, an Aparthotel

and retai l units. A central avenue l inks

the square to a central space that wraps

The architecture offers di fferent faces to

these publ ic and pr ivate realms – street

e levat ions are animated with large scale

openings and project ions in a masonry

outer wal l , whi le the courtyards are given

a f iner grain of modular ised cladding,

project ing balconies and fu l l height

glazing. Bui ld ing heights r ise up from

south to north maximiz ing solar access to

the courtyard gardens and the blocks are

formed from apartments clustered around

cores offer ing the opportunity for many to

be dual aspect and encouraging a sense

of community.

Barnet Counci l have worked with us,

and the scheme is now promoted as

a benchmark for sustainable design in

Col indale. the masterplan del ivers 714

From a new publ ic square outs ide the

Aparthote l . W ith in the s i te i tse l f , b locks

are genera l ly p lanned as ‘L’ shaped and

above park ing at grade. Ranging f rom 3

to a 10 storey point b lock, the apartment

b locks are c lad in whi te render, cream

or red br ickwork above a b lack br ick

p l inth so that the scheme has var iety yet

reta ins a coherence.

This concept of r ichness with in a uni f ied

whole is carr ied through in the design

of the facades, where a var ied ‘corn ice’

l ine expresses the top of the masonry

wal ls to the outer, urban face and a

l ighter t imber or panel led att ic storey

a lso creates a var ied sky l ine.

W ith in the courtyards, b locks to the

south are kept lower to a l low good day

and sunl ight into these spaces. The

facades are c lad in t imber or l ight-

coloured panels to create a softer,

The design began with the idea of

creat ing a bui ld ing form that took a cue

f rom the Isokon bui ld ing’s ocean l iner

analogy, so that i t creates a coherent,

s ingular bui ld ing form that explo i ts the

curved street . The base of the bui ld ing

is therefore formed in a chalky coloured

br ickwork, which has curved corners

and h inges around a centra l ‘ funnel ’

(a sta i rcase) and culminates at the

northernmost end as a ‘prow,’ expressed

as cant i levered, curved balconies ak in to

that of an ocean l iner.

To the rear of a the bui ld ing, a large

communal garden culminates at the prow

of the bui ld ing at a smal l publ ic space

conta in ing a large t ree, to prov ide a

much needed green space as a v isual
