From contemporary new house design through to end to end consultancy on sustainable housing development design projects, our mission is to create cost-effective, thoughtful, low-energy buildings that improve everyday living. We offer a simple but realistic approach to building design, taking on board your ideas, priorities and dreams, be they for an ambitious Grand Designs style countryside eco-home or more modest plans to extend a bungalow.
When you engage an Architect for a new design project it can be daunting trying to understand the process involved. This guide to our design project stages explains what you can expect from each phase in the design and development process, how it fits with the RIBA Plan of Work, approximate timeframes required and which parties will be involved with each step.

It was a pleasure working with archangels ARCHITECTS and also with Rachael who was responsible for my file. As 11 Lewes Crescent was a Grade 1 listed building, I was rather nervous about getting the necessary building approval from Brighton Council, especially considering the major nature of the works, however, it all went very smoothly with no nasty surprises – mostly due to the professionalism of archangels ARCHITECTS

We spent a small fortune to have windows installed. Firstly, they recommended bad fitters that did a bad job and now this summer the lead flashing that they specified over our windows blew away in a storm risking injury and damage to those below. I had hoped that hiring specialist architects to help with this work would be beneficial. In retrospect it was a GREAT mistake and I could have specified and managed the job better myself.

For many people, the idea of hiring an architects can be quite daunting. There seems to be a common apprehension among householders that an architect will impose their idea of style on you, rather than satisfy your needs. At ARCH-angels, however, their main goal is to nullify this apprehension. I've heard numerous good things about these guys, and from looking at their site, they seem to be really on the money with their niche.
If you need any work done to your house, and you think it might be worth getting a second oppinion, ARCH-angels are perhaps the best architects in Brighton when it
