OFF GRID RETREAT | Midland Architecture
Ohio / United States / 2014
11
This 900 square foot offgrid retreat, situated on the family's cattle farm in Appalachian Ohio,
blends old and new technologies to create a selfsustaining home. South facing glazing in the
living room provides views across a seven acre lake, and is also integral to the passive solar
design which generates heat when coupled with the concrete finish floors. Additional
sustainable features include a fresh water cistern supplied by a natural spring that runs along
the building site; electricity generated by a solar cell array; and spray foam insulated walls and
ceilings. The exterior is clad with a Corten metal standing seam roof and burnt cedar siding
with Douglas fir columns. The interior layout features two bedrooms and a single bath, along
with a great room and kitchen.
