A-Frame Cabin

A-Frame Cabin is designed as a simple and sleek home in the woods that features a Japanese process of creating charred wood (Shou Sugi Ban) for the beautiful exterior siding. This 700 square foot 1 bedroom 1 bathroom house is intended to be used as a vacation or retirement home and has a front porch for nicer weather, large fireplace for colder seasons, and a fully open space within the A-frame structure with an amazing view out to the forest.

The cabin is organized with the louder common spaces at the front of the house and the quieter private areas at the back. To enter the house, we can walk up the front porch and through the front door. It leads directly into the living room that has a comfortable sofa with a chaise facing towards a large gas fireplace and stone chimney.

Next to the living room is the kitchen that has an “L” shaped layout with plenty of storage in the base and upper cabinets. There’s also a large refrigerator to store enough food for a few weeks. The kitchen is centrally located and has a high top with three bar height stools. Adjacent to the kitchen is the office area and bathroom, which are both located in the projected areas off the side of the A-Frame structure.

The office is surrounded on all sides by windows that look out towards the forest. During the winter, it’s calming to see the snow gently falling outside and during the summer, the trees shade the room from direct sunlight. On the opposite side, the bathroom is designed to be a relaxing spa with dark tiled finishes, a toilet, floating vanity, rainshower with shower wand, and a soaker tub next to the picture window that looks out to the forest.

At the furthest end of the cabin, there’s the bedroom that has a king size bed facing a dresser with a TV on top of it. There’s a large window that fills the entire end of the house and looks out to the forest outside. Next to the bed is the lounge area with two comfortable chairs facing out of the windows. This is the perfect place to relax, unwind, and reflect.
