For more on the project, see our book Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home: A Sourcebook for Stylish, Eco-Conscious Living.
Above: Thom built the kitchen counter and bench from heart pine salvaged from early 19th-century building joists bought nearby. A faucet and under-counter water canisters, operated by a foot pump, were added later (not pictured here). Photograph by Matthew Williams for Remodelista: The Low-Impact Home.
The cabin frame is built from hemlock, a local wood, with white pine board-and-batten siding. The floor is tongue-and-groove white pine. The cabin is electrified but without running water.
