About FIELD Architecture
FIELD Architecture is a full service, design forward practice focused on creating architecture that belongs to the land and fosters connection between individuals and the places they love. Our designs are born from a thoughtful dialogue infused with optimism, sensitivity, and a profound sense of stewardship. We foster a close relationship with our clients, work with the land, and develop responses deeply rooted in their environment.
Led by father-and-son team Stan and Jess Field, our interest in place-making spans generations and countries. Stan was taught by Louis Kahn; Jess was born in South Africa and grew up sketching and drafting from an early age. Our studio is comprised of talented individuals working collaboratively to realize the vision for each project. We bring together experience and expertise, artistry and exacting detail. Our exchanges are constant, considered, optimistic, rigorous, sensitive, and full of wonder: all qualities with which we infuse FIELD’s work.
