Architecture beyond the grid

Dominic Bradbury’s survey brings together off-grid homes across North America, spanning forest cabins, desert dwellings, and coastal retreats. The projects connect residential architecture with questions of sustainable living, including net-zero design and reducing carbon footprints. Their varied natural settings make the book a visual exploration of how homes can be planned for life beyond conventional infrastructure, while the emphasis on affordability and attainability frames off-grid living as an architectural possibility rather than only an isolated ideal.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in residential architecture and contemporary home design
  • Those exploring off-grid, net-zero, and sustainable living
  • Architecture and design enthusiasts drawn to homes in wilderness settings

Book overview

Living off the grid has become increasingly desirable in recent years. Escaping the city to be immersed in nature is ever more appealing as the pressures of everyday life increase. The need to reduce our carbon footprints as the effects of climate change become a reality has brought sustainable living, particularly in off-grid and net-zero houses, to the forefront.

In Off the Grid: Houses for Escape Across North America, Dominic Bradbury turns to North America to showcase how architects are making living in the wilderness a more aordable and attainable dream. From cabins deep in the forest to desert homes and stunning coastal retreats, this collection of the most innovative off-grid homes reveals how clever design is redefining the possibilities for living in some of the most extraordinary natural environments on Earth.
