An A-frame house is a style of house characterised by a roofline with steep angles that resembles a triangle, or the letter ‘A’. The roofline usually begins at or near the foundation line, with the two sides meeting centrally at the top.
The construction of an A-frame makes it an ideal structure for all types of weather. In warmer climates, the main living space on the ground level stays cool as the hotter air rises to the peak of the building.
The triangle shape of the A-frame house makes them stronger than other designs, which can help them stand up to harsh climates such as wind, rain, and snow.
