In the tiny town of Auvilliers, France, architect Jean-Baptiste Barache designed an elegant cedar-shingled home with an A-frame construction.
Diana Vincent of High Camp Home renovated a 2,700-square-foot A-frame and enlarged the rooms to create more usable space.
Located off paved roads, across a river, and up a mountain, Pablo Pérez Palacios’s cabin in the Mexican wilderness has a rooftop terrace designed for entertaining.
“We decided it was a fun moment to have no white in the space and use the fireplace as a kind of accent,” says Paula.
A floating Fireorb wood stove warms the living room. To avoid the odd nooks and crannies that an A frame’s roofline creates, low shelves were built along the wall to hold fire wood.
The couple’s three children were involved in the renovation process and particularly enjoyed the demolition process.
