Architectural Studio Rebrand Reflects New Multidisciplinary Design and Community Focus

After five decades of leadership in architecture, interiors, branding, and planning, U.S. design practice Gould Evans has rebranded as Multistudio to reflect its renewed focus on multidisciplinary design which embraces interconnectedness and collaboration.
The rebrand also reinforces the studioās commitment to building a culture that seeks diverse perspectives and utilizes design to positively impact the communities and clients it serves. The name change results from discernment of how the studio has evolved and what it aspires to become as a socially responsible design collective.
Gould Evans was founded in 1974 by two classmates from the University of Kansas who shared a passion for vernacular architecture and design. From its humble inception, the studio has steadily grown and gained national prominence for architecture that is sensitive to place.
The studio has blossomed from its original vision into a 160 employee-owned design collective. It spans five locations, including Kansas City, MO, Lawrence, KS, New Orleans, LA, Phoenix, AZ, San Francisco, CA, and has received over 650 national and regional awards. Prominent projects include the Michelle Obama School in Richmond, CA, Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Justice Center in Scottsdale, AZ, Tulane University Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, LA, the University of Kansas Earth, Energy, and Environmental Center in Lawrence, KS, and the Olathe Indian Creek Library in Olathe, KS.
āMultistudio is the evolution of our vision and ambition where we, and our clients, move into thinking what is possible,ā says Anthony Rohr, FAIA, National Managing Principal.
Today, Multistudio is recognized across the United States for reinvigorating design by utilising regionally inspired talent to develop meaningful outcomes. The rebrand aligns the studioās image with the ethos it embodies. As a result, many, yet one, the studio is unified in its vision of designās potential in building a more meaningful and collective future.
Multistudioās new identity captures the multiple ways it designs to uncover possibilities and engage with the world.
