The Orchard by Wojr: Organization for Architecture
Introducing The Orchard, a novel architectural masterpiece designed by the renowned Wojr: Organization for Architecture. This unique project seamlessly integrates with the picturesque rural landscape of upstate New York, a region beloved for its rolling hills and vibrant apple orchards.
The minimalist design style of the property manifests in six cozy guest quarters, each featuring a sunken living space and an elevated perch that offers sweeping views of the surrounding orchard and distant mountains. A common area, nested precisely within the tree canopy, fosters an immersive experience of nature. The use of familiar materials like brick, concrete, plaster, and plywood, applied in innovative ways, creates a visually intriguing environment that hovers between the familiar and the unfamiliar.
This harmonious blend of architecture and nature is what makes The Orchard a true testament to sensitive design strategies.
