Stan Field has practiced in three countries where his work has been widely acclaimed. He launched his practice in South Africa in the early 70’s – his first project, the Miller House – won the National Award of Merit. Stan had a thriving practice in Johannesburg before moving to Israel, where he was appointed Chief Architect to the City of Jerusalem in 1978, and a partner at Moshe Safdie’s office. Stan opened his own office in Palo Alto, California in 1990, where his work has seen local, national, and international acclaim. Stan’s work is infused with his own infectious optimism and commitment to the ability of architecture to inspire and transform. His projects have included large scale planning projects, master plans, urban and town planning projects, institutional buildings, custom residences and residential developments, design guide-lines, wineries, religious buildings, and most recently, The Ubuntu Centre in South Africa.

In 2006 Stan formed Field Architecture with his son Jess. The work and designs are born of an inter-generational dialogue that is optimistic, deeply caring, and highly motivating and aims to transmit this attitude and vibe to everyone involved in a project from clients, to consultants, and down to the craftspeople working on the job site. They believe that architecture, in its highest capacity spans generations. It is an attitude towards building that must be at once relevant and timeless.
