The compact A-frame house is a desirable dwelling, especially for consumers who are looking for a vacation home. The A-frame house is characterized by its distinctive shape, resembling the letter 'A' when viewed from the front. These houses typically have steeply sloped rooflines that extend down to the foundation on both sides, creating a triangular shape, and are popular in areas of heavy snowfall.
Lindal Cedar Homes, a mature architectural firm founded in 1945, boasts a compact A-frame house material package that can be delivered to any location. Complete with assembly instructions, the architectural kit is affordable and easy to build.
Recently, Lindal tapped architectural designer Aris Georges of OM Studio Design to create five Alpha A-frame house designs which are built on a raised foundation. Each unit makes the most out of its small footprint.
