Catskills Rio Retreat

UNDER CONSTRUCTION - 2024

Off-Grid, Carbon Negative, Up-Cycled Construction

The Rio Project is an off grid, zero carbon, material reuse shipping container cabin with on-site harvested and milled trees for its interior.

The shipping containers and majority of glass and steel are second hand resources sourced locally from Port Jervis small businesses. The portable mill was transported from within  1 mile from the project site.  

Site Harvested Power and Timber

The all electric fossil fuel free building systems are powered by dual 6kW 48V 120/240 split phase Inverter Systems with an 11kW solar array balanced by a 30.6kWh energy storage system.
