Hello friends! Today I found the most precious (extremely) 70s A-frame. A-frames like this one are really just a step up from camping and the photographs frankly don't do it justice.
A-frames were popular second homes or vacation homes in the 60s and 70s because of their economical, yet dramatic design. This A-frame was almost certainly designed with this purpose, considering its compact, cabin-like atmosphere. I personally love them for their clever utilization of space and their whimsical aesthetic. Unlike the geodesic dome, another novelty home of the period, A-frames were more resilient to the elements (especially rain) and continue to be built (albeit in smaller numbers) as vacation and permanent homes to this day.
