Here’s a tour of the architectural design and features of a modern A-frame home that spans over 2,001 square feet. The residence includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and it offers multiple levels with a third-floor loft accessible by a ladder.
Introducing the modern A-frame home fully equipped with a ladder-accessible loft on the third floor
Featuring an A-frame design with sharply angled rooflines, the house creates a triangular shape that extends from the base to the peak. Large, floor-to-ceiling windows dominate the front faรงade, allowing natural light to flood the interior and offering expansive views of the surroundings. The exterior blends wood paneling with sleek glass elements, set against a forested backdrop, complementing the natural environment.
Main level floor plan with open living space, two bedrooms, and an expansive deck
A spacious deck graces the front of the main floor, leading into an open living and dining area connected to a modern kitchen with a central island. Two bedrooms are located toward the back of the house, accompanied by a bathroom and a laundry room. Extending the living space outdoors, the porch provides a sheltered area for relaxation.

On the second level, a lounge area overlooks the open space below, promoting natural light and airflow throughout the home. A large bedroom with access to a private deck and a bathroom occupies this level.

An open and versatile loft area crowns the third level, offering a flexible space for use as a home office or additional lounge area. With a peak height of 10’9″, the loft promotes a light and open atmosphere.

Front view of the A-frame house with expansive windows and dual balconies
Nestled among tall trees, the triangular design of the A-frame house features a warm wooden exterior. Expansive windows and two levels of balconies on the front facade create a nice connection between indoor and outdoor living. The modern lines of the home also contrast brilliantly with the surrounding landscape.
Step into the bright hallway with a built-in bench leading to an open living space
Warm wooden elements and minimalist dรฉcor guide the way through the hallway, leading toward a bright, open living space. A built-in bench with storage adds both seating and practical organization, while natural light at the end of the hallway highlights the transition into the main living area.
An open living space with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and a metal staircase
A high vaulted ceiling with wooden accents defines the living area, while multiple skylights allow plenty of natural light in. A modern wood-burning stove sits against one wall, accompanied by a stylish and minimalist seating arrangement. Behind the living area’s main sofa, a metal staircase leads to the upper floor. I’d add a couple of indoor plants to match the earthy tones of the furniture, but I wouldn’t change anything else here.
A different perspective of the living area shows the large A-frame windows
From this point of view, you can see the A-frame window that offers expansive views of the surrounding greenery. I love how the area stays naturally lit throughout the dayโit’s a pretty energy-efficient design.
A closer look at the plush armchair and wood-burning stove
A distant view of the living area doesnโt do it justice, so here is a closer look at the plush armchair positioned beside a wood-burning stove. A couple of art pieces on the wall should make this corner more visually interesting. Other than that, it’s beautifully designed.
A view capturing the modern kitchen with angled skylights and marble countertops
Behind the dining table, you can see the house’s modern kitchen designed with white cabinetry and marble countertops. Angled skylights are enough to keep the kitchen lit during the day without using the light fixtures. An island with bar stools offers casual dining and prep space, while open shelves and a traditional range contribute to the kitchen’s functional layout.
Seamless connection between the kitchen and dining area
Facing the dining area, you can see how it’s seamlessly connected to the kitchen with a matching aesthetic.
The black stove meets the white cabinetry in a stylish contrast
A black stove, set against white cabinetry and marble countertops, anchors the kitchen corner and creates a stylish contrast.
A clear view of the angled ceiling of the kitchen .. the last one I swear
One last look at the large windows and high, angled ceilings of the kitchen. I love the uninterrupted views of the lush landscape outside.
Serene bedroom with a slanted wooden ceiling and a large window
A slanted wooden ceiling and a large window characterize this bedroom. Soft, neutral linens dress the bed, complemented by minimalist bedside tables and lamps. A carpet adds warmth to the light-filled, airy atmosphere.
A different view of the sloped ceiling and minimalist decor
Here, you can see how the sloped wooden ceiling fits nicely in the neutrally-toned bedroom. The space is enhanced by simple decor, including a large framed artwork and a small indoor plant. I wouldn’t change a thing in this roomโI love its serene atmosphere.
Balcony access to the right side of the bed
Large windows on the right side of the bed open to a balcony, allowing natural light in and connecting the room to the landscape outside.
Lounge loft area with A-frame window, vaulted ceiling, and metal ladder
An open loft area features an A-frame window and vaulted wooden ceiling, offering panoramic views of the outdoors. The black metal ladder leads up to a small raised platform, adding a unique architectural element. A white bathroom with wooden cabinetry is accessible through a door on the left.
Architectural drawing of the A-frame house with walkout foundation and spacious balcony
The architectural drawing here reveals a rear perspective of the A-frame house with a walkout foundation option. Large, high windows and a balcony stretching the length of the house offer ample outdoor space, accessible by an exterior staircase. The open lower level, with multiple entrances, emphasizes functionality and modern living.
