Guide

We don't just design places. We open them.

Field Guide Placemakers is an independent placemaking studio built around hospitality concepts: restaurants, hotels, and food & beverage, carried from first site walk through opening day and beyond. We bring that same full-lifecycle approach to retail and mixed-use projects, for developers, owners, operators, and CPG brands alike.

Concept, design, and creative direction get you to a beautiful space. We stay on for the part that actually makes it work: menus, training, operations, and the ongoing attention that keeps a place running the way it was meant to.

Rooted in the Hudson Valley. At work across Upstate New York, New York City, New England, California, and Florida.

We've worked on Forbes-rated luxury properties, Michelin starred venues, New York Times Top 100 restaurants, independent neighborhood restaurants, food hall operations and bar programs, meal delivery services and shelf-stable CPG products.

Field Guide stays small on purpose: senior involvement on every engagement, from first site visit through opening day and beyond, with no account layers in between.
