JTP, an international placemaking practice, is renowned for its award-winning architectural and masterplanning projects spanning the UK, Europe, China, Russia, and the Middle East. The practice attributes its success to the talent and creativity of its team, fostering a workspace that stimulates innovation, learning, and social interaction.
JTP takes pride in implementing initiatives such as weekly design reviews, fortnightly professional training groups, and annual office study trips to destinations like Lyon, London Dock, and Wapping, and Copenhagen. These initiatives aim to not only enhance early-stage design but also facilitate a vibrant learning experience for their students.
The practice's commitment to open communication is evident in the monthly practice updates by the Managing Partner, wherein key successes, strategies, and financial updates are shared. Employees are invited to provide feedback or ask questions during these sessions or individually to the leadership team.
In January 2023, JTP launched a performance management platform to further encourage employee contributions to the firm's goals and values. Celebrating success is integral to JTP's culture, with monthly updates via 'The Hub' highlighting company and employee achievements.
JTP's commitment to its principles and values is evident in its proactive approach to nurturing future talent. It provides annual bursaries to support architecture students under the Building Futures programme, offers work experience, learning and career opportunities, and participates in school outreach programmes. The firm also champions nature-led design, prioritising biodiversity and urban greening in its projects.
