A-frame houses are popular in rural, wooded areas with snowy winters, and they provide just enough living space while integrating beautifully with the natural world.

An A-frame house is a building with a tall, triangular roof that resembles the capital letter “A.”

Typically, an A-frame is a two-story or three-story structure with a wide first-floor living area, a smaller second story above the living room, and a tiny top floor that serves as a sleeping loft.

The front and back walls of the house generally have large windows that let in natural light. The sloped sides of the A-shaped roof serve as the other two walls.

A-frame houses are among the simplest homes to design, engineer, and build.

Most A-frame homes have large windows on the front and back walls. For even more natural light, consider adding skylights to your A-frame.

Skylights can make the home feel larger. Many A-frame house plans and cabin kits include skylights as part of their core design.

The heavily sloped roof of an A-frame house keeps snow from building up and causing damage. Snow slides right off the sides of an A-frame, which spares the homeowner the expense of roof repairs.

Many ski chalets in snowy areas are A-frame log cabins, and A-frame vacation cabin rentals are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
