Edifice by Marc Thorpe is a black off-the-grid cabin in Upstate New York

American designer Marc Thorpe has created a simple, off-the-grid dwelling in Upstate New York that is meant to exist "in perfect balance with its environment".
Edifice was built in the small village of Fremont, which is a two-hour drive from New York City. The town is tucked into the scenic Catskill Mountains – a popular getaway for urban dwellers.Marc Thorpe, who runs an eponymous Manhattan studio, designed the cabin to serve as a model for a proposed, 30-acre (12-hectare) nature retreat.
