A-Frame House and Cabin Plans

A-frame house plans feature a steeply pitched roof and angled sides that appear like the shape of the letter “A.” The roof usually begins at or near the foundation line and meets at the top for a unique, distinct style. This home design became popular because of its snow-shedding capability and cozy cabin feel. A typical style for contemporary vacation homes, A-frame plans are more prevalent in spots with a lake-front view and are often spotted near the ocean or tucked away in mountainous regions.

Characteristics of This Style

A-frame cabin plans are often famous for their cozy fireplaces, offering comfort after a long day of skiing or snowshoeing. The typical home usually has high ceilings, comfortable bedrooms, and storage space. These homes are easy to construct because of the simple structure, and they have more durability than other houses as they can withstand harsh weather.

Due to the simplicity of A-Frame house designs – and the oversized windows typically used – more light and air is allowed inside the house. The outdoor space typically consists of large decks that may wrap around the house, extending the floor plan's living space. This space can be used for anything from entertaining to relaxation.

This architectural style is perfect for creating a unique retreat in the vacation spot of your dreams. Even though the structure is typically simple, that doesn’t mean these homes can’t be extravagant. Browse through our A-frame cabin plans and start building your perfect getaway today!

The Plan Perspective

The A-Frame Home: Stylish and Timeless

The A-Frame Home: Stylish and Timeless     When Rudolph Schindler built a home in Lake Arrowhead, California for costume designer Gisela Bennati, little did he know that the triangular house would become a national sensation. The house – constructed in 1936 – with its A-shaped roof that almost reached its foundation, open floors, large glass windows, and doors attracted a lot of attention. The A-Frame reached the height of its popularity in the 1950s when young architects around the country took a page from the
