"I wish this shelter to blend with the landscape. I will make it of the rock to be found there, of the lumber to be found there, and I will cover it with the vines that are native"

RUSSEL WRIGHT'S MANITOGA (2011)

This short film from Anthropologie explores the beautiful Manitoga, which was created on a ravaged industrial site in Garrison, NY. The land was regenerated by mid century designer Russel Wright and his wife, designer Mary Einstein Wright, to be a home, studio and garden for their family. After Mary's death, buildings were designed with architect David Leavitt.

The site is open to the public as the Russel Wright Design Centre (although currently closed due to winter weather). It also appears in the documentary ART HOUSE (2016). (Image via Dwell)

Russel Wright’s ‘Dragon Rock’ Residence, Garrison, New York,

Wright created unique door handles and fixtures for every room of the house. This rock handle, like all other natural materials in the house, comes from the grounds. He carefully fitted the rock to work with an off-the-shelf brass fitting and key lock.

자연과 함께 어울러 사는 삶은 어떨까? 바위와 폭포가 시원하게 떨어지고, 평평한 지붕이 이끼로 가득차있고, 집 안에 자리한 트렁크 나무기둥과 바위가 매일매일이 새로운 파티같을 것 같아. 산세와 자연을 관찰하는 그의 삶은 욕심보다는 만족을 배웠을 것이다. 부족함보다는 가득참에 노년을 보냈을 상상을 하니 부럽기도 하다. 아등바등하는 삶보다는 흘러가는 삶이 그저 감사했을 거야.
