Details from the home of Rob and Jaki Roy located in upstate New York. A dozen miles west of Lake Champlain and south of the Canadian border, their home, Earthwood, is a true showpiece of the back-to-the-land building movement.

“If you can stack wood, you can build a cordwood house,” Mr. Roy said.
