Off-grid floor plans, as a starting point.
A collection of plans to start your own sustainable building from. Rancher, craftsman, country or farmhouse: any of them can be an off-grid home when solar power, catch water, greywater and passive solar are added the right way.
The collection.
Every plan uses green building materials and techniques. Each one is a start, not a finished set: we adapt it to your site, your climate and your codes.
What makes a plan off-grid.
The systems that go into the structural shell. Use some or all of them in place of conventional utilities, each with an automated conventional backup if you want one.
