Seamlessly blending modern architectural design with the natural beauty of the mountains. This custom A-frame designed by Reynard Architectural Designs features a striking dark exterior, an expansive outdoor living space, and walls of glass designed to maximize natural light. It’s a perfect example of how our "right-sized" floor plans maximize both style and efficiency.
The interior of our modern A-frame design proves that an efficient floor plan doesn't mean sacrificing grand, inspiring spaces. The soaring wood-clad ceilings draw the eye upward, flooding the open-concept living and dining area with natural light. To maximize usable square footage, a fully equipped custom kitchen with an island is thoughtfully integrated beneath the adaptable loft space. Connected by an open staircase with modern metal hardware, every detail is engineered for both beauty and optimal flow.
Our architectural design approach focuses on:
-
Smart, open-concept layouts that eliminate wasted space.
-
Maximizing natural light to capture sweeping mountain and river views.
-
Short-term rental optimization, taking full advantage of the community’s vacation-friendly rental policies to maximize your investment.
Whether you are seeking an architect to design a weekend getaway, a lucrative vacation rental, or a cozy full-time residence, we collaborate with you to ensure every square foot of your custom mountain cabin is optimized for your comfort, style, and budget.
