Quiet, material-led architecture for the Pacific Northwest
Portland, OR
North Field is a ten-person studio working across new construction and thoughtful renovation. We design buildings that age well: honest structure, generous daylight, and a restrained palette of timber, plaster and stone.
We believe a home should feel quiet, durable and specific to the people who live in it. Every project starts with light, proportion and how a family actually moves through a day.

Modern · Oslo, Norway · 2025
Design concept
The client wanted somewhere to be, not just somewhere to borrow. Half the floor area is seating: window benches, the amphitheatre stair, and long shared tables. The timber cladding is untreated and is already silvering on the harbour side.

Modern · Marin County, CA · 2024
Design concept
Three pavilions follow the slope, each one anchored by a concrete spine. The house opens fully to the west and closes tight against the road.

Japandi · Tokyo, Japan · 2024
Design concept
The site was three metres wide. Rather than fight it, the team leaned into the compression: one continuous hinoki counter, ten stools, and a single row of paper lanterns that pulls the eye to the back wall. The charred cedar facade was chosen to read as a quiet gap in a very loud street.

Minimalist · Portland, OR · 2024
Design concept
The clients came to the team with a 1940s house and a kitchen that had been closed off from the rest of the ground floor. Removing a single bearing wall opened the room to the garden and made space for a nine-foot quarried island. The cabinetry is rift white oak with an inset face frame; the plaster hood was built on site over three days.

Coastal · Nantucket, MA · 2025
Design concept
The owners wanted a kitchen that could take sand, sun and a dozen guests. We stripped the low ceiling back to the rafters, pulled the range wall to the window, and used only materials that weather gracefully.

Japandi · Seattle, WA · 2025
Design concept
A wet room, a bench, and nothing else. The design reduces the program to bathing, with cedar warmth against cool basalt and a single high window that tracks the day.

Farmhouse · Hudson Valley, NY · 2024
Design concept
A new four-bedroom residence on eleven acres. The plan is a simple gabled bar with a perpendicular wing for the kitchen and hearth room, sited to catch morning light across the meadow. Structure is exposed where it earns the right to be.

Mid-Century Modern · Palm Springs, CA · 2025
Design concept
The renovation removed four decades of additions to recover the original roof plane, then extended it outward as shade over the terrace.

Contemporary · Rotterdam, Netherlands · 2024
Design concept
Two years of workshops shaped the brief before a line was drawn. The result puts the pool hall and sports hall side by side under one long roof, with the cafe and entry glazed to the street so the building advertises itself simply by being used.

Contemporary · Copenhagen, Denmark · 2025
Design concept
The collection is fragile and the site is dark for half the year, so the building became an instrument for daylight: a folded zinc roof, deep north-facing rooflights, and pale brick that bounces what little winter sun arrives down into the galleries.

Traditional · Savannah, GA · 2024
Design concept
Historic rooms were returned to their original proportions while a modest modern wing absorbs the kitchen, mudroom and stair.

Farmhouse · Madison, WI · 2025
Design concept
Everything is built for volume — a scullery behind the range wall, a second sink at the island, and cabinetry sized to real preserving season.

Industrial · Brooklyn, NY · 2024
Design concept
We kept every original column and let new insertions read as furniture — freestanding volumes that never touch the perimeter walls.

Scandinavian · Minneapolis, MN · 2025
Design concept
Storage disappears into a full-height birch wall so the room itself can stay soft and empty.

Minimalist · Denver, CO · 2026
Design concept
A single-room building with two desks, a wood stove and a clerestory that never puts glare on a screen.

Contemporary · Nashville, TN · 2026
Design concept
Production and retail share one room, divided only by a long ash counter that doubles as a glazing bench.

Contemporary · Boulder, CO · 2024
Design concept
An addition that had to feel original. A new hearth room extends the house to the south, framed in reclaimed douglas fir with a run of steel casement glazing. Currently in framing.
