"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.
