Overview

Multistudio is the evolution of Gould Evans. Our new identity reflects how we think, embracing the multiple ways in which we design to uncover possibilities and engage with the world.

Multistudio collaboratively expands the practice of architecture, brand experience, city design, education design, and interiors to serve complex, and even contradictory needs of our clients and communities. The diversity of thought, people, and disciplines helps us explore place and spark possibilities of economic, social, and environmental change. And although we take on a variety of projects, neither size nor type dictates their importance.

Their impact does.


Our strength is our overlapping practice of design.

Within Multistudio we bring multiple perspectives, talents, and expertise to each design opportunity; exchanging design dialogue and discourse to address broader challenges and solutions. This overlap of design breeds innovation, challenges the status quo, and results in a more meaningful outcome for our clients beyond what we could have imagined alone. Collectively, with our people, collaborators, and communities we grow through the making of projects between and across our interconnected practices:

We design to address the most critical demands of our time through a human‑centered approach to form and place that values the multiplicity of beauty, performance, and craft.

We explore the power of brand in a way that integrates every aspect of your identity to create positive connections and experiences.

We engage communities and leaders in shaping the incremental and organic growth of cities to support the vibrancy and well‑being of people and place.

We collaborate with a network of education experts to develop dynamic spaces and strategies that make learning accessible for a greater range of people.

We design the interior experience with tactility, comfort and expression at the forefront to evolve with human needs and support the success of everyday life.
