JTP - Key Persons
As an Associate and Graphic Designer, Adam plays a key role in embedding narrative placemaking across our projects and the stewardship of JTP's brand. He is responsible for the creative leadership and management of the Graphics team.
Adam has extensive experience of coordinating and designing complex submissions and supporting visual collateral that shape our visions. His strengths lie in developing strong, meaningful, creative ideas with a strategic focus that add value, conveying the ambition, identity and uniqueness of our places. Working closely with the Communications and Graphics teams, he brings to life these stories through place branding, graphic design and illustration.
Adam has been involved in numerous design charrettes and has participated in community planning events throughout the UK and internationally, working as part of a multi-disciplinary team to deliver the collective vision of a project. His experience and passion for design, paired with this holistic approach ensures that each project has a distinctive look that feels right.
Aside from his work on bids, Adam has work on a number of projects including The Green Quarter, Oaks in Prague, Brunel Street Works and JTP's own studio, Pennington Street Warehouse.
Since joining JTP, Adam has been involved in a wide range of residential and mixed-use projects focusing primarily on estate regeneration and the reuse of brownfield land. Adam was the Project Architect for New Green, located in Rainham, which was delivered through a joint venture between Wates Residential and London Borough of Havering. The project replaces two poor quality 13-storey tower blocks, with an integrated new community formed of mid-rise, high-density buildings, arranged around new open spaces and public realm.
Adam also worked on Albion Waterside in Gravesend, a vibrant new community of up to 1,500 new homes, alongside landscaped open space and valuable new amenities. The project is defined through the green and blue landscape by utilising the site's existing assets including the River Thames frontage, the Embankment Marina, the historic route of Albion Parade, and the former alignment of the Thames and Medway Canal. The architecture responds to the historical maritime vernacular of the site by providing a diverse collection of buildings that utilise a carefully selected material and detail palette.
Other projects include a mid-rise development adjacent to a sensitive Grade II listed park, replacing vacant light industrial buildings on the site with sensitive borders and boundaries, as well as a suburban build-to-rent housing scheme in Milton Keynes, that deals with density in a more urban style whilst allowing a strong landscape vision to be at the forefront of the development.
Adam strongly believes that JTP's ethos of understanding, engaging and creating establishes strong foundations for design that not only produces interesting and responsive architecture, but places that are socially, economically and environmentally sustainable. He is currently working on proposals for a scheme located close to Kingston Station, utilising typologies that maximise residential quality placed within the context of extensive new public realm.
Alex is an Associate with JTP who has worked on a variety of projects ranging in size and complexity for private developers, housing associations and local authorities. His portfolio consists of residential projects including the design of individual bespoke homes for private clients, through to large-scale, residential-led mixed-use strategic sites.
Other notable projects include a new mixed-use neighbourhood at Gilston Park in Hertfordshire, where Alex has developed proposals for the first village masterplan, while preparing a design code and series of detailed proving layouts looking at how to optimise density and; Hanwood Park, where Alex has developed a suite of design codes for 5,500 new homes near Kettering which forms one of the largest Sustainable Urban Extension sites within the wider North Northamptonshire area.

Astrid's motto is to ‘Learn. Explore. Innovate. Inspire. Repeat'. She thoroughly enjoys urban research and sharing knowledge, and as an Urban Designer at JTP, Astrid has undertaken numerous collaborative studies to learn how to design more sustainably, including a street width study.

Additionally, Astrid has worked with the team on multiple exciting projects including Worcestershire Parkway - a ‘town centre first' new settlement allocated for up to 10,000 homes and diverse employment opportunities, developed over 30 years on a phased basis. Astrid enjoys considering how the landscape and our lifestyles will evolve in the future, and consequently how the design of masterplans such as that of Worcestershire Parkway can be adapted over time to accommodate these inevitable changes.
Prior to her professional career, Astrid was acknowledged as the Top Performing Student during her Town Planning studies at Cardiff University, before achieving a Distinction in Urban Design where she discovered her true passion in creative placemaking and sustainable urban regeneration.
