Drawing its energy from the sun and wind, this newly built off-the-grid cottage combines the charm of old Nantucket with state-of-the-art sustainable design.
Doug sketched a plan for three pavilion-style bedrooms, linked by a deck and covered porch to one large room that serves kitchen, living, and dining functions. Set back 50 feet from the unstable dune line and built on screw piles above storm-surge level, the new house is slightly larger than the first (2,400 vs. 1,600 square feet) and similarly sheathed in natural, no-maintenance cedar.
