Custom Off-Grid Home, Old Iron Town, Iron County, UT
Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, many elements fit together in architectural design. Topographic maps and panoramic photos help determine exactly where a home should be built. Wind and weather, the position of the sun, vegetation and geologic features all come into play. Puzzle pieces for this off-grid home west of Cedar City include self-contained water, sewer and energy systems. A greenhouse adds other element of self-sufficiency.
