Remi CT

Studio Introduction

Remi C.T. Studio is an innovative, multidisciplinary architectural practice dedicated to crafting modern, timeless designs that prioritise context and the human experience. By seamlessly integrating sustainable beauty with functionality, we create bespoke spaces that enrich lives and celebrate the unique rituals and lifestyles of our clients. With experience globally, currently working in the UK, Middle East, and West Africa, we are passionate about pushing boundaries and delivering designs that leave a lasting impact.

Rooted in East-London, REMI.C.T STUDIO was established in 2017 with the goal of leading the conversation in design-led solutions to challenges in the global built environment. We are a passionate multi-disciplinary studio who enjoy both leading in design and partnering with world-renowned practices in larger collaborations. The Studio focuses on two key principles when approaching a new project: context and the human experience. How can this design make the most of the environment it is a part of and enhance the greatest features of the landscape, making use of the tools and expertise it is surrounded by? How can we better understand the patterns of people’s behaviour and enhance their spatial experience into all components of the design?
