JLL Water Street is a finalist in the 2023 BCO Awards.
The project was designed and delivered by a combined effort from across the Tétris and JLL teams.
I was commissioned to photograph the 38,000 sq ft offices at 20 Water Street and capture the forward-thinking / holistic approach to the design. My brief was to show how innovation and employee wellbeing was at the heart of the space.
The merits awarded to our projects come from our designers, and you as the photographer. Our industry should value your involvement more. Thanks.
Ramon Muñoz – Design Director at Tétris
Congratulations to all involved.

Office Snapshots has announced its annual list of the twenty-five best and most popular offices of the previous year. It is great to see the flexible, collaborative and inclusive JLL workplace, designed and built by Tetris, in with all the other incredible projects.
I was commissioned to photograph the 38,000 sq ft offices at 20 Water Street and capture the forward-thinking / holistic approach to the design. My brief was to show how innovation and employee wellbeing was at the heart of the space.
The Canary Wharf workplace is JLL’s first office specifically designed to embrace a new way of hybrid working. JLL wanted a collaborative, sustainable, inclusive, health-led, tech-smart, energy-efficient and flexible workplace (targeting WELL Platinum, SKA Gold, BREEAM Excellent).
The office features a variety of meeting and hybrid rooms, breakout areas, cafe and kitchens, huddle spaces, demo and innovation zones, standing rooms, study libraries, acoustic meeting pods, plus garden lounges and balconies promoting wellness through biophilia.
Office Snapshots is a leading online resource for the global office design community.

Last year I was asked to be affiliated with the Influx Gallery as a featured artist. It is with great pride that I can now announce that I have been inducted into the Influx Gallery Hall of Fame alongside some incredible talent.
Influx is an award-winning international art gallery based in Notting Hill, London. The team has assembled a “family” of experienced artists, curators, and gallerists. Their objective is to support artists by organising international online and physical art exhibitions and contests.
It is great to be part of the family and I look forward to collaborating with the other artists on future projects. https://www.influx-gallery.com/jonathan-banks
