The Little Prince asked the rose, “Where are the people?” The rose replied, “The wind blows them here and there. Their rootlessness has caused them great trouble.”

The Orangy Archive is a space for solitude, and its theme is the relationship between the body and space.

A peculiar creature, part of a large family called “Nomadic Creatures.” Each member is occupied with seemingly “pointless” and unnecessary pursuits. This being has exaggeratedly long legs—perhaps to stride over the events of life. For now, it resides in an orange garden, suspended between the weight of memories and the lightness of dreams.

This architectural project is located in an orange garden in Sari, Iran, spanning 1,200 square meters. The main structure occupies just 10 square meters, with a total of 20 square meters of built area.

The client is a successful businessman who has paid a heavy price for his achievements. For years, he has collected an archive of books and films he wishes to read and watch, but he has never found the time—because he is, after all, a successful businessman.

Mr. Orangy is a cinema enthusiast who has sought refuge from the chaos of life in his orange garden, escaping into the world of films and imagination. The Orangy Archive is a sanctuary where one can retreat from the monotony and emptiness of life into the boundless realm of imagination.

But there is one rule: time spent with this long-legged creature must be spent alone.

Inside the Orangy Archive, one can find every book and film Mr. Orangy has lovingly collected since his childhood—a space that is more than an archive; it is a vessel of dreams, a place where the “pointless” pursuits of life find their true meaning.
