Fieldwork Design & Architecture


Fieldwork Design & Architecture is a woman-owned architecture firm and interiors studio based in Portland, Oregon, and Samsø, Denmark. Founded in 2011 by interior designer Tonia Hein, Associate IIDA, Principal, and architect Cornell Anderson, AIA, Principal, they head a team of talented designers that work in a collaborative studio culture focused on well detailed, concept driven design. Fieldwork’s approach to a project is to develop a design that reflects the values and philosophy of the client, inspired from the context of the project site and history. This produces an architectural expression that is forward thinking, innovative, and timeless, creating memorable and meaningful experiences. Whether the work be architectural, interiors, furniture, or some blend of the three, Fieldwork’s designs have a direct, profound connection to the natural environment. The designs utilize sustainable and local materials, take advantage of views to the area and landscape, and utilize natural ventilation and day lighting. Sensitivity to, and inspiration from, existing architecture, history, and landscape are fundamental.
