About

Kristine Sommerfeld established Field Design Studio in Melbourne in early 2014. It was born out of the belief that sustainable architecture can and should be beautiful. That energy efficient houses are not only smart and functional but also bright and comfortable. That the clever use of recycled and reclaimed materials is not only cost effective but also cool.

Engaging an architect to design a new home or renovate an existing one is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the betterment of the environment and every project is unique.

Green buildings are about more than star ratings and some extra insulation (though in our buildings you get that too).  It speaks to the soul of a building, and how a home can exist in harmony with its surroundings. It is about the relationship between owner, designer and builder. About how the exchange of ideas and collaboration makes for a better outcome – not just for the project, but for the broader community and the earth.
