Porter Cottage - Alex Scott Porter
The December/January issue of Dwell featured this cute 320-square-foot cabin on an island 20 miles off the coast of Maine.
Designed by Alex Scott Porter, it an off-the-grid cozy writer’s retreat that features lots of eco-friendly goodness including a graywater system, solar panels, passive solar heating and cooling, a solar refrigerator, rainwater catchment, and a composting toilet. A small screened porch, a storage closet and the composting toilet room add another 160 square feet to the cabin. What a great place to cozy up with a good book, a cup of hot chocolate, and an oversized sweater.
