The Modern A-Frame

 
601 Tuna Walk

Midcentury Spaces Made new

Photographs of A-Frame cabins, and stories of the people who call them home.

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. The variety of styles and homeowners in this photo-driven collection captures the romance and magic of a classic structure.

“As I travelled around photographing, I would experience over and over again that nobody boring lives in an A-frame. Hearing their stories was as exciting a part of the process as taking the photographs.”

-Ben Rahn
