A-Frame House Plans, Floor Plans and Blueprints

A-frame houses are often built as vacation homes or mountain retreats. The steeply sloping roof lines, which give this house style its distinctive appearance, allow room for second floor lofts and they help to minimize the impact of heavy snow falls. Relatively large gable end roof overhangs, expansive glass and minimal vertical wall surfaces help to reduce exterior maintenance, since most roofs never need to be painted;-)

However, keep in mind that the steep roof design also creates a triangular dead space at the base of the "roof walls" that is not easy to furnish. Be sure to consider furniture placement, traffic flow, cabinet layouts, closet space and head room when calculating the actual usable floor space in this type of design.
