A beginner creates a shared retreat in the woods for learning and doing.
Barryville, New York
I needed a remote piece of land where anything was possible. Id spent six years in the city building online communities and now I wanted to build one offline. Specifically, a place for a bunch of friends to be outdoors, somewhere we could be less preoccupied by our professions and more reliant on each other as we practice new skills together. I imagined a landscape nested with shelters we would make ourselves without any previous experience. My search began in upstate New York. I was looking for a place where the locals wouldnt mind our experiments with architecture, assembling what would surely look like a commune.
