About us
Welcome to the official website for Litchfield + Fields Ltd: Architectural model makers and design studio.
Founded in 2006 by Architecture graduate and long time model maker Stuart Fields and his wife Sarah. Litchfield + Fields Ltd is a family ran business that prides itself on working alongside the architects, developers and many other New Zealand clients that appreciate the skill of traditional scale modeling.
Based in the capital city of Wellington we are situated in the centre of one of New Zealands most creative and inspiring cities with a wealth of architecture and new development all around us in an ever changing landscape.
Here you will find details of what we do and why our model making is chosen by so many around New Zealand.
We are able to create models for almost all circumstances and most can be broken into the following categories:
High End Marketing Model
Frequenting the modern cityscape, the high end marketing model can include a wealth of detail to really show your ideas to the world. With options to include a stunning display plinth or custom made display unit these models are sure to impress both client and potential buyers. Built to a very high level of detail with every colour, finish and texture recreated meticulously these models can be of a very large scale and physical size and will immediately show your project in the best possible light.
Medium Detail Presentation
Featuring an elegant and clear level of detail this interim model is a good balance between detail, purpose and cost. Architectural forms are explained using subtler or indicative colouring and are accentuated by further details such as the landscaping seen here on this residential proposal. Display bases can be included in a full or simplified manner along with protective acrylic display cases if the situation requires one.
Form Models
Design development or smaller scale presentation models that can translate ideas into reality for that all important client meeting. Low cost and quick to produce, the form model can be an invaluable design tool when a 3D form is required.
- Fully handcrafted models created with artistic skill and technique. This allows flexibility in the build process and a more personal product.
- With experience in architectural illustration we can create unique textures and finishes that accurately depict your designs.
- Custom model display bases that take elements from your designs to further enhance the final presentation.
- A normal table can often display a beautiful model at the wrong height for the viewer. Custom tables can be created for each project to display your model presentation at the optimum height.
- A portfolio that includes over 70 projects from all over New Zealand and even as far away as India.
- Cost effective, you will see that a high quality scale model can and will be created to fit your budget.
With a rich model making background and over 10 years of experience Litchfield + Fields Ltd can create the perfect hand crafted scale model to suit your needs. Ranging from the most basic architectural form to complex landscapes. Whatever your requirements we can create a scale model sure to impress your clients and express your ideas.

Encube Ethicals Model, Chibnall Buckell Marovic Team Architects
“Chibnall Buckell Marovic Team Architects are a regional based group of architects from Hamilton, New Zealand, and deliver building projects across New Zealand from residential, commercial, retail, educational and tourism based market sectors. See www.cbmarchitects.co.nz
CBM Architects are working in India on a range of projects, with a specific leading design edged, five Green Star rated, three storey, curved perimeter glass walled office development, for an award winning pharmaceutical company, based in Goa. The exterior animation of this building can be seen on; http://www.facebook.com/v/1123076895673
The conceptualising of the office building design required a scale model to be fabricated and delivered to India. With Stuart Field’s excellent skills, a detailed model was created, with intimate assembly on each level, with the ability to separate parts of the model for clear understanding by the Client and their Investors, all packaged and couriered to the Client.
The delivery result is visually “mind blowing”, and a credit to Stuart Field’s commitment to detail, quality and working with the Architect and Client to deliver the best product for the best value.
We are looking now to use Stuart for many other project deliveries over the years ahead.”

Metropol Apartments, Archaus Architects Ltd
“Because of the quality of the workmanship and the detailed nature of the model, it was used for photoshoots for a Dominion post article and as the centrepiece for an interview on TVNZ Business Breakfast. The model was an invaluable tool for the visualisation of this complex project, and for allowing potential buyers to engage with the project in a three dimensional way that drawings and other graphics, despite their quality were unable to convey.
I would not hesitate to reccommend the quality of the work, which far exceeded all expectation”.
Huw Parslow, BA(Hons), DipArch, DipBRS. Associate of Archaus Architects Limited
Residential Home, Kerr Ritchie Architects Ltd

We will definitely continue to use Litchfield and Fields for future work.”
