Steep rooflines distinguish A-Frame house plans, ideal for snowy climates
Popularized in the 1960's and 1970's, sleek A-Frame home plan designs set the standard for dramatic, contemporary vacation homes.Often constructed of cedar and stone to blend into a naturalistic setting, these striking A-shaped houses are named for their steep, snow-shedding two-sided roofline that extends down to the foundation. Although typically limited in living space with few vertical walls, one-and-half to two-story A-Frame plans offer an open and inviting interior with soaring ceilings, masonary fireplaces and a comfy half-floor loft, bedroom or storage space at the peak of the home. Broad outdoor decks and spectacular floor-to ceiling windows that open to the front and rear of the home are designed to take full advantage of mountain, ocean or lakefront views. Ideal for entertaining and relaxing getaways, A-Frame house designs are a rustic yet refined choice for those who want to enjoy minimalist modern-style in a country setting.
