The steep two-sided slope of its namesake roofline extends almost to the foundation and is designed to help heavy snow slide to the ground. Typically one and a half to two and a half stories, A-Frame home plans feature a cozy half floor loft or storage area at the peak of the home providing spectacular but limited living space with few vertical walls.

Sharp-Sloped Roof
The steeply sloping roof not only lends itself as a stunning stylistic element but a functionally sound design allowing heavy snow to slide to the ground in the cold winter months.
Large Oversized Windows
The A-Frame design features large oversized windows providing dramatic appeal while allowing light in the home from the front and rear. Additionally the strategically placed windows provide breath taking views of the mountains, lake or beach.
