When the time is right, it is proposed that the carport at the Fox family retreat be raised and a carriage house/bunkhouse be constructed in it's place. There is additional caveat that provision is made within the structure to accommodate 8 or more inhabitants off-grid in a sealed environment for a period of 3 months. The initial client proposal was to accomplish this with a concealed basement but studies proved the best and most effective solution was to seal the outer shell of the carriage house/bunkhouse.
  Several off-grid solutions were studied. The final solutions were a hydraulically-cooled propane generator, a water tower with a rainwater collection system, a trash compactor and a water distiller.
