Martin Evans

Favouring simplicity in aesthetic, our designs sit appropriately within contemporary taste while remaining part of the grain of the local environment. As shown through our body of work, we enjoy building relationships with our clients, who often return to us after the completion of one project with their next in mind. We are proud of this reputation - one which we have cultivated over the last two decades - and see it as a reflection of our values as a practice. What drives us is the belief that - to produce something valuable to a client - high quality design must pervade the project at every stage: from its inception, to its detailing, to its construction, we offer a process which sees durability and artistry work in tandem.

Not all projects need lead to a building: if you already have an outline permission and require a range of sketch options or seek a set of designs for interior spaces with bespoke furniture, we can help. Our philosophy is to nurture relationships with those who are integral to the architectural process - including our clients, consultants, planners and contractors - finding that dialogue and communication is key to the success of a project. This approach, along with two decades of experience, means that we excel at the negotiation of permissions, resulting in an excellent reputation for achieving planning consent, even for difficult or unusual sites.

Before starting his own practice, Martin Evans worked with EPR architects and was an Associate Director at Terry Farrell and Partners where - amongst other large projects - he worked on the master planning for Paddington Basin. He also tutored at the University of Westminster and is a trustee for the charity EMIUK, leading teams of design professionals in East Africa and India.
