You can recognize an A-frame house because it literally looks like an A. It doesn’t matter what size the house is, the look is the same. The largest A-frame house looks like a capital A in a large font, while a tiny A-frame house looks like a small upper case A.

However, the drawback of this style is that it is very difficult to make any innovations that change the look of the house. In fact, every A-frame house looks just like another.

Unless, of course, you come across an interesting plan, or if you look inside the A.

Basic plans for an A-frame tiny house

What is really great about the popularity of tiny houses is that there are many, many resources and references to help you when you are looking for a house, or want to build your own.

If you do a search, you’ll find a few sites that offer plans for A-frame tiny houses. You can look at sites such as The Wayward Home or Craft Mart.

Choosing a plan for your A-frame tiny house

The trick for designing any house is to ask yourself what it is you are looking for. What do you need to fit into the space? What do you want to do in the space?

With a tiny house, this is by far the most important part of the building process. This is because space is so limited, especially in an A-frame house. How you use the space is very, very important.

So, when you look at different plans for A-frame tiny houses, don’t only look at the roof, walls and windows. Remember that the sharp angle of the roof of an A-frame tiny house, and the way the roof runs down just about to the ground, creates some challenging angles inside the house. This will affect the placement of furniture and the design of storage space.

Look carefully at how the interior of the house is configured. Make sure that the plans make the best possible use of the space.

Buying an A-frame tiny house

One of the advantages of buying an already-built A-frame tiny house is that you will be able to see exactly what is on offer. By walking into the space and checking all the storage carefully, you’ll soon know if it will suit what you want to do with the house.

It also means, though, that you can’t tailor-make the plans for yourself.

Building an A-frame tiny house

The alternative to buying an existing A-frame tiny house is to build your own. In fact, not only are there different plans available for these houses, you will find different kits for sale from which you can build your own home.

Again, this can be limiting, especially if you have a very clear idea of what you want your house to look like inside. Most plans can be adapted, though, and you should find a building service who will work with you to create the perfect design for your own A-frame tiny house.
