Stunning Modern A-Frame Cabin with Open Concept Design

Stunning Modern A-Frame Cabin with Open Concept Design - FULL TOUR

Tour of a beautiful and minimalist A-frame cabin that measures 950 square feet including the loft. The cabin has an open-concept kitchen, living and dining space, two bedrooms, and a full bathroom. Most of the furniture, like the beds, shelves, benches, and kitchen table were built by the owners using plywood.
It’s heated with electric baseboards and a lovely locally-made wood stove.
In this video, Marie-France also shares some of the challenges of building a cabin of this shape and height.
This was a family cabin and a rental at the time we filmed it but it has since been sold.
Thanks for watching!

No TV or informatic paraphernalia’s is surprising indeed. We should all open a reflexion about the impact of that on our lives. Thank you for a very refreshing video!

I like how the A frame is not as efficacious as other plans but it still looks the most spacious. I don't know how much 950 sq. ft is but the fact that you guys made space for a total of 2 queen beds and a single bed is damn wonderful. Also, the headspace above all the beds is wonderful.

I'm glad she said that A-frame is not cheaper to build. It is assumed that it is since the roof also acts as the walls. Now knowing that it's not cheaper to build and you lose a lot of space due to the angled interior walls, I will no longer consider building an A-frame. It just makes more sense to build with 4 walls and a roof. Efficient and cost-effective design is important to me.

@haljasonfoster2169 Жыл бұрын

Same thing here but have you looked into Arched Cabins instead. They are cheaper than A frames and have some of the same design appeal with more space.

@palebeachbum Жыл бұрын

@@haljasonfoster2169 Not too in-depth, but I have looked into arched cabins some. They do seem like a better design than an A-frame. I wouldn't want it to look too industrial though. That's my only concern. I also don't know how the cost compares to a typical building with walls and a roof.

@Romualdomgn84 Жыл бұрын

Interesting to see the appearance of white walls near the wood stove after couple of years of using the stove. Having experience with wooden stove in sauna - glass door becomes black due to soot. If fume goes outside (usually happens in the beginning, when fire just starts), immediately all nearby surfaces become black. Also chimney has two angles, which could be the cause for clogging and harder to clean, rather than straight chimney. However, design is nice and outside is gorgeous.

Intelligent design with a great colour palette that focuses on the beauty outside. Love that you have full size kitchen appliances and the built in bench is both space saving and adds a homey, kitchen feel. I'm not personally a fan of plywood but in this case it is almost unnoticeable. The main floor bedroom (#2) is well designed giving privacy to guests. Outstanding finished product.

You've got to get on board with Incredible Tiny Homes in New Port, Tennessee. Randy Jones is killing the market with affordable prices on his Tiny Homes & the communities he is developing in Tennessee & now an off grid community in the Nevada dessert just one hour from Los Vagas. This home is nice & all & although I like it, these kind of A-Frame Homes most people nowdays can't afford something this nice. People need affordable places to live in this world right now with inflation going through the ruff on housing, food, & everyday expenses going crazy & your paycheck is stretched as far as you can stretch it. We need affordable places to live. We all can not afford a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 2 car garage all setting on 5 to 20 acres. Oh yes it would be wonderful to do that. But what happens if you get sick or lose your job? For a family with 2 incomes & now you've lost one your not going to be able to pay your bills very easy. Just some food for thought here, bc anything can happen & then your up the creek w/o a paddle. Have a wonderful day, Chris from Missouri

This is in Québec, using hydropower, therefore solar is pointless. Batteries is a better choice if your want to have uninterrupted power and heat, though she has a wood stove so may not need them.

On the outside, this looked like a lovely place to have a home amongst the snow but I'm afraid that inside, it came across as a harsh, empty, cold, stark and completely uncomfortable house. If I'm tucked away inside looking out at a beautiful snowscape, I want to be viewing from a cosy, comfortable home. This most definitely wasn't it.🇦🇺💖🕊
