Architect Marc Thorpe designed the Fremont House, which is found in the town of Roscor in New York by the Western Catskill Mountains. It embodies a sustainable design that celebrates its natural surroundings, nestled within the trees, and encourages responsible living. It measures 1,000 square feet and has an off-grid design with minimal themes blending nature with technology.
There are two bedrooms, a living space, a dining area, a bathroom, a storage space, a utility room, a kitchen, and a small terrace. One of the most notable details of the Fremont House is its 100% solar power function. Thorpe was looking to create an affordable modern home that relied on integrated technology seamlessly integrated into the building.
