FieldWorks Homes™ is dedicated to bringing affordable and sustainable living spaces into people’s lives. We began with Tiny House on Wheels constructed from super-efficient composite structural insulated panels to provide low-cost living comfort in a light-weight bumper-pull trailer. We help people to de-stress their lives by providing pleasant spaces that people can feel good to occupy.
FieldWorks Homes is led by materials innovator, G Whitman Field, who received a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University in 1985. At that time, the spontaneous Earth Day celebration of 1970 was a nearly forgotten whim of history. But as the leader of the campus environmental group, Mr. Field revived the campus celebration on the 15th anniversary of that first Earth Day. The celebration became institutionalized and subsequently spread to NYU and the popular culture. Upon graduation, Mr. Field embarked on a wide-ranging entrepreneurial and business career beginning with New York City real estate investment, rehabilitation, and management and then in Wall St. computer programming. At Standard & Poor’s, his automation of the desktop publishing process of the award-winning CreditWeek publication inspired a revolution in information delivery in the financial industry. In the 1990s, Mr. Field began working with inventors who created innovative methods to recycle waste rubber from tires and other automotive rubber parts into engineered thermoplastic vulcanizates used to make inexpensive sheet rubber products. This work led to Perastic’s development of Nanbrol®, a nano-reinforced rubber dispersion that has been used to formulate compounds to make superior parts in the energy extraction and aerospace industries. Mr. Field’s composite building materials market development efforts are supported by an extraordinary team of twelve volunteers and four employees. The group includes three PhDs and four masters degreed professionals. Areas of expertise include engineering, chemistry, environmental science, architecture, construction, real estate, information technology, business, and entrepreneurship.
