Maine Island House
Alex Scott Porter
Ragged Island, Maine, USA
A 550-sq. ft, 3-season off-grid cottage on the coast of Maine—engineered to minimize both physical and ecological impact. The cottage is equipped with solar panels, a composting toilet, rainwater harvesting systems, and a single wood-burning stove, enabling it to function independently from local power and sewer infrastructures on its remote Ragged Island site. Designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, the seasonal home features a compact site plan and an efficiently organized interior layout with minimal furniture and built-in elements.
