After many studies of trying to add an addition to an A-fame, we finally have come up with the idea of removing the A-frame and getting more useable square footage.
The resulting Design takes advantage of a lakefront view.
This was one of the ideas for an addition to the A-frame, but the conclusion was that by the time that we cut 4 of the 5 A-frame beams, re-supporting them, that the cost for this engineering gymnastics was almost as much as just building a new upper floor.
A-Frames are one of the most challenging roof forms to add onto.
The A-frame is it is today.
