OUR
story
We imagined a different kind of escape — one where nature doesn’t dilute comfort, and luxury doesn’t betray authenticity.

Field+Fold is a lifestyle built on our belief that luxury can coexist with nature, and elevated wellness should be available in everyday life.
More than 40 years of experience in architecture, and 30 years’ operating as our firm, FC Studio Inc, began the journey of creating our own brand of wellness experiences. We’ve intricately studied the science and art of space with our decades of experience with luxury residential homes, historic refurbishes, restaurants, resorts, and commercial workplaces. We’ve worked with some of the best in the hospitality industry and know what it means to build an experience that feels as good as it looks and lasts.
Architecture is not just a study of design, it’s an emotional experience within a space, incorporating layers of its history, purpose and vision. From functionality and flow to comfort and aesthetic, our prefabricated designs bring this level of research and expertise to each cabin and sauna. We have taken our holistic approach to everything we do and incorporated into Field + Fold ensuring every experience in the space leaves you wanting more.
Midwest made, and midcoast minded—this is not glamping, its wellness redefined, delivered to your doorstep.

INSPIRED BY LIFE BY LAKE MICHIGAN
From our city lake-life in Chicago where we are based, to the slow coastal Michigan towns, dunes and forests, our Field+Fold inspiration draws from life by Lake Michigan. We’ve traveled the world enjoying wellness and nature, but we really fell in love with our time spent on a farm in Michigan, right here in the Midwest.
Lake Michigan can feel like an ocean itself, which inspired our term “Midcoast,” a play on being both in the middle, and on the coast of a Great Lake.
Harsh winters, perfectly cool summers and the gift of gathering with friends and family in our blood. We saw a need for luxury around shared wellness in this area of the country—so we built it.
We work closely with our manufacturing partner, PreFabPads, based in Waukegan, IL. Their team has expert experience in building our architectural dreams. Each sauna and cabin are crafted from top notch materials that can weather the lakeside climate and feel as elevated as they look.
Our own sauna inspires us to keep getting outside in nature through all times of year. Family and friends flock to our property for gathering to sauna, eat, bee-keep and hike through the Michigan terrain—yours will too.
Midwest made, midcoast minded.
