Residential and commercial commissions across New England — each shaped by site, climate, and craft.




“We design calm, enduring spaces — rooted in light, material honesty, and the way people actually live.”Northfield Studio · Est. 2009

A twelve-person practice balancing research, fabrication, and built work.
Northfield Studio grew out of a shared interest in quiet modernism — buildings that feel inevitable on their sites rather than imposed on them. We collaborate early with clients, engineers, and makers so every detail is resolved before ground breaks.

Every commission is singular. We bring the same rigor to a kitchen addition as to a civic pavilion — clear phases, transparent fees, and craft you can see in the finished work.
Discuss a projectGround-up homes and small commercial buildings designed for longevity, energy performance, and daily comfort.
Sensitive updates that honor existing structure while opening plans to light, flow, and contemporary living.
Built-in joinery, stair and millwork design, lighting plans, and material palettes carried through every room.
Zoning review, massing options, and budget ranges before you commit — so decisions start on solid ground.
Site visit, brief, and budget conversation — we listen before we sketch.
Massing studies, material boards, and a clear design direction to approve.
Permit-ready drawings, specifications, and contractor coordination.
Regular site reviews until the last hinge is aligned and the keys are yours.
