A Modern A-Frame in Franklin, NC
Rising high in the Blue Ridge Mountains outside the Nantahala National Forest, Wayah Cove elevates the classic alpine cabin into a striking masterclass of mountain modernism. Designed by Reynard Architectural Designs, this ~1,200-square-foot sanctuary anchors itself naturally to a steeply sloping lot using an expertly engineered stepped foundation. Wrapped in dark charcoal cladding and crowned by a soaring 28-foot peak, it is a brilliant example of "right-sized" architecture that lives incredibly large.
