Lot 60 House - Knoldheim: an off-grid house in St. Croix USVI
LOT 60 House (a.k.a. Knoldheim) is a visionary off-the-grid compound which emerges out of its hilltop location using innovative green roof technology. At 6000 sf, it includes a single-family wing, a 2-bedroom guest house and 3 long-term rental suites, clad in concrete with floor to ceiling windows framing panoramic ocean views. There is a rigorous solar system hidden in the green roof, a subterranean 75,000-gallon rainwater cistern, and a 5000-gallon gray water cistern for irrigation of the green roofs and surrounding landscape. Lot 60 is an entirely self-sustaining paradise for the next century and beyond.
