Its solved by declaring static variable in AddIns project

C#

public partial class ThisAddIn
   {
       public static Word.Application app;
   }

C#

private void ThisAddIn_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
   {
        app = this.Application;
   }

After declaring static variable, I am able to receive all properties on winform lavel

C#

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   ThisAddIn.app.Documents.Open(directoryName + editFileName);
}
