Projects
Our Portfolio
Explore the diverse portfolio of commercial and Domestic projects ArchEvolve we have been recently been involved with. We pride ourselves on transforming commercial spaces through innovative and inspiring renovations.
Sea Rd, East Preston
This coastal development comprised five new-build homes and a block of flats, designed to deliver modern, light-filled living just moments from the sea. The project blends contemporary architecture with a relaxed coastal feel, creating a vibrant residential community in a sought-after seaside location.
Lashmer Rd
The Lashmar Rd project focused on transitioning a fully approved design into a build-ready reality through precise building control-compliant construction drawings. Our role was to bridge the gap between design approval and on-site execution, ensuring regulatory adherence and a seamless construction handover.
Mill Lane
This project focused on delivering a contemporary new build home on a constrained and technically demanding plot.
Grand Ave
This project involved a sensitive renovation of a listed building, with the client seeking a change of use to better suit modern needs. Our work focused on preserving the property's historic character while enhancing functionality and spatial flow.
The Drive
The Drive project focused on enhancing everyday living by adding en-suites to bedrooms on the first and third floors, improving both functionality and privacy across multiple levels of the home.
Valley Rd – Peacehaven
This project entailed the creation of a striking contemporary new build located on a coastal plot in Peacehaven, characterized by its elevation and panoramic views.
Works Barn
The Works Barn project focused on transforming and extending a derelict building into a bespoke one-bedroom residential unit. Designed with care for a family member, the project brought together thoughtful architecture and functionality in a deeply personal way.
Hammy Close
This project was driven by the desire to expand the ground floor and build a welcoming, multifunctional kitchen space tailored for hosting and everyday family life.
34 Homefield Rd
The project at 34 Homefield Rd involved the design and execution of a rear ground-floor extension combined with strategic internal reconfiguration to improve functionality, flow, and natural light within the family home.
Clermont Terrace
Located in the heart of urban Brighton, Clermont Terrace is a modern coastal living development featuring two new-build homes. This project reimagines traditional design within a city setting, delivering contemporary, spacious residences that blend seamlessly with the vibrant urban fabric.
RIBA Plan Of Works: A Guide For Our Services
ArchEvolve, we specialise in delivering unique and exciting architectural projects tailored to our clients’ needs. While we adopt RIBA Architectural Practice, we adopt the principles of the RIBA Plan of Work as a foundational framework across our projects. This structured roadmap guides the step-by-step progression through briefing, design, construction, and operation phases. By working in line with the RIBA Plan of Work, we ensure a clear, consistent, and professional approach throughout every stage of the project lifecycle.
Our Seamless Process
Our process is designed to guide you from the first conversation to project completion with clarity, care, and creativity. By aligning our work with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) framework, we ensure every phase is expertly managed and tailored to your needs.
Stage 1 : Preparation & Briefing
Every successful project starts with a deep understanding of your goals. In this initial phase, we work closely with you to define the vision, set clear objectives, and gather the information needed to shape the brief.
Our process can be aligned with the RIBA Plan of Work to ensure clarity, structure, and a smooth transition into the design stages, giving you confidence from day one.
Stage 2 : Concept Design
We progress to a feasibility stage, presenting ideas, solutions and concept designs. Taking on board your comments and optimising the potential of the property, reviewing daylight, views and quality of space. Our pre-design services include site analysis, feasibility studies and project programming. We use advanced 3D design tools to fully engage you in the design process.
Stage 3 : Spatial Coordination
We finalise and submit any planning applications to obtain the necessary consents for your project, whilst working closely with the local authority and keeping you informed throughout the planning process. We undertake application discussions with the Planning Officer on your behalf and make amendments where necessary.
Stage 4 : Technical Design
Once these permissions are in place we collaborate with a wider design team to complete the technical design. This will include working with a variety of consultants such as a Structural Engineer, Civil Engineer, M&E Engineer along with Building Control to ensure compliance under Building Regulations. Under this stage we can prepare all of the necessary construction information including specifications and a schedule of works. This will then be tendered to contractors.
Stage 5 : Manufacturing & Construction
Once the design is complete, we move on to the construction stage. We work closely with you to review the tender returns and move to the contract stage. We can then undertake regular visits to the site to ensure the works are being undertaken in line with the drawings, specification and programme. We also provide contract administration services and certify the works for compliance with the building Regulations. Under this stage we can prepare all of the necessary construction information including specifications and a schedule of works. This will then be tendered to contractors.
Stage 6 : Handover
On completion of the construction work we will prepare the necessary handover documents. We will review the project workmanship and compile a list of any snagging items that require rectification.
Stage 7 : Use
Our involvement doesn’t stop at completion. We remain available for post-occupancy support, performance monitoring, and ongoing care.
