We Are Evolve
A small but established London-based architectural practice founded in 2010.
We collaborate as a studio from initial client meeting through to construction on site to carry out well considered design. We offer a bespoke design service for our clients to inspire solutions that enhance and transform what they have into something that gives them joy beyond function.
Our approach to every project is to seek intelligent, beautiful solutions to delight our clients while adding value to their buildings. We work closely with clients, crafting spaces that feel personal and reflective of who will live there. The practice is fortunate to have a loyal client base who come back with new projects and refer their friends and family.
We were selected to be on a Framework with Ealing Council for small projects. Our entry for the Bethany Waye Design Competition demonstrates our interest to build new relationships with new clients.
Services
We offer multiple architectural services from conception to completion
Define the heart of the project
Establish the brief of the project both the physical built needs and defining the heart of the project.
Put pen to paper
Sketch design with drawings and models options and ideas to be refined to preference and budget.
Production and management
Produce and manage the planning applications and construction drawings, while leading the design team members of engineers etc.
Hands-on approach
During construction when the detailed design is handed over to the contractor, a new wave of design decisions and matters are resolved by us on site in our work boots. We offer a hands-on approach to contract administration and site work.
Collaboration with skilled craftsmen
Interior Architecture is a large part of every project that includes the materials selected, the built-in joinery and the lighting. We work with many skilled craftsmen on projects who produce those finishing touches that complete an interior.
Landscape design
Hard landscape design has become another skill of the practice as the inside and outside meld together in projects. The landscape needs to be considered as an extension of the building.
Our People
Natalie Sully DipArch
Founder and Director
Natalie began her career in Europe working at the Paris atelier of Pritzer Prize winning architect Christian de Portzamparc. That time in Paris crafting hand drawn perspectives, making endless scale models, clay prototypes of door furniture etc. was a grounding experience in design and detail. After raising a family in west London she returned to the profession working in a local practice and then completing Part 3 at South Bank University. When the opportunity came to build her first new build house Evolvearchitecture was started.
