Contact— Studio MULTI

Studio Multi is a London-based architecture studio led by Nicola Rutt and Seth Rutt.

‘Multi’ reflects our collaborative way of working across disciplines to generate new ideas. We design low-carbon buildings and retrofits, and create places built for long-term resilience, adaptation, and reuse.

We combine the energy of a new practice with decades of delivery experience from concept to completion - bringing big-practice know-how to a focused studio that stays closely engaged throughout.

Studio Multi designs efficient, joyful buildings and interiors. We deliver low-energy, low-carbon buildings, using Passivhaus principles for comfort and performance, and cutting embodied carbon through retrofit and lower-impact materials. Our work is spatially rigorous and adaptable, defined by clear forms, responsive façades and honest construction.

We design workplace, residential and mixed-use projects from interior detail through to strategic masterplanning, drawing on wider experience in transport, education, and arts buildings. We specialise in socially connected, amenity-rich environments - particularly coliving communities and flex-working spaces.
