Suspended in the Orchard

In Cheshm Cheran Bazi, designed by ZAV Architects, architecture grows from within the landscape rather than standing apart from it. Set in a vast olive orchard in Minoudasht, north-eastern Iran, the project transforms an active agricultural environment into a place for play, movement, and discovery. Shaped by an existing metal grid, tree positions, land levels, and farm life, circular platforms rise among trunks and branches, offering children a bodily experience of the orchard. This series of photographs captures architecture brought to life through presence, balance, and play.
