Design Evolution.
Like the natural world, architectural design is constantly evolving. Advances in techniques and materials inspire our team to push the boundaries as we strive to create superior spaces that enhance the lives of our clients.
Originally founded as Franklin Architectural Design by Kim Bouman in 1989, over the years, we have helped thousands of Kiwis bring their project vision to life.
In 2024, acknowledging our growth and expansion, we decided to refresh our brand and Evolve Architecture was born.
From our studios in Tauranga and the Waikato we continue to provide exceptional architectural design and documentation for both our existing and new clients.
Rest assured, our name has changed, but we still hold to the same values that our studio was built on. You can count on the Evolve team to help you design innovative, creative and functional spaces you’ll love.
Our Vision
To build strong, well designed integrated communities and projects where all New Zealander’s have access to functional and creative architectural design.
“With client relationships spanning over 30 years, we have the experience and drive to support your vision. When you come to us, we listen.”
- Kim Bouman.
