Similar to Swiss Chalet house plans, A-frame home designs feature a steeply pitched gable roof which creates a triangular shape. The main difference between a-frame house plans and Chalet house plans is the fact that the former extends its roofline farther down toward the ground, which establishes the signature A-like shape. Besides cool-looking and easily recognizable, a-frame house plans are extremely practical. The whole point of having such a steeply pitched gable roof is so heavy loads of snow can easily be shed, making this style of architectural the go-to design for mountainous vacation getaways or year-round homes that happen to reside in cold, snowy climates. In addition to their signature rooflines, a-frame house plans often feature large (sometimes, walls of) windows and outdoor living areas (like porches, decks, and patios) that take advantage of the beautiful scenery that will likely surround them. To further complement the outdoors, natural materials—like stone and cedar—are often used on the exterior and interior of these rustic home plans. Inside an a-frame house plan, coziness and contemporary simplicity abound. Typically, a-frame homes offer a modest square footage and one and a half levels. The main level--often open and featuring the living areas--and the loft which acts as the bedroom. Vaulted ceilings (often created naturally via the signature steep rooflines) and open rafters are common, as well as a fireplace to keep the masters warm on cold nights. In more modern designs, an island kitchen presents itself, while larger, more elaborate blueprints may feature wings and dormers that expand the living space. So, are you ready to start exploring the a-frame house plan collection? Well then, get to it! Make yourself a cup of hot chocolate, wrap yourself in your favorite blanket, and have fun!
