Restoration of an off-the-grid1884 bay cottage located on a barrier island in the Great South Bay, NY.
Transformed with a light low carbon touch, the house retains its origin. Powered by solar and coupled with a mission of sustainable stewardship that includes raising oysters, foraging, vegetable garden and hunting that supports 25% of the families yearly food intake while protecting the barrier island protected environment.
