Midcentury spaces made new: A-Frame homes from rustic to ultra-modern, mountain retreats to seaside getaways.
The A-Frame home surged in popularity in the 1950s, and has captured the public’s imagination with its playfully modern, steep-sloping roofline ever since. The Modern A-Frame celebrates seventeen diverse accounts of these minimalists cabins reinvented for the twenty-first century. Nostalgic escapes, heritage homes, full-time simplicity, and artists at work categorize the A-frames whose engaging stories are shared. Whether fabricated from a 1960s kit or as a new build via retro inspiration, the variety of styles and homeowners in this photo-driven collection beautifully captures the romance of a classic structure, which beckons to travelers and homebuyers today, just as it did sixty years ago.
Perfect for the architectural enthusiast, midcentury-minded designer, or armchair traveller.

I’ve had so many guests comment on this coffee table book. It’s fun to look through and the stories that go along with each a frame make it even more interesting.

A little disappointed. The book looks like it’s been used and has some scratches on the cover. Hoping the seller sees this and makes it right.The book itself is great! Just wish it was in pristine condition

A cute addition to any bookshelf or coffee table. A little more narrow than a regular coffee table book but looks great overall. Lots of good info too.

Beautiful book with great pictures and nice little stories on the house builds with each photo set. Whether you’re just in love with A-Frames, or looking for some inspiration for a new build, this book is great.

It’s a rare architecture book that just as deftly explores the human lives of inhabitants as it does the visuals of actual structures, but this book does it brilliantly.

Rahm has mastered the feelings of A Frame architecture. As if the style embodies an emotional idea that changes the humans who get to inhabit them.

We just purchased our own A Frame home in February so this was a must to purchase. Beautifully laid out with photos of various homes in different regions, each with their own spin on style and decor. We love this book and keep it out for guests to browse as well.
