The Cascade house plan is a distinct A-frame model providing 1,976 square feet of heated living space across two levels. Defined by a steep 18:12 roof pitch and a total building height of 35 feet, this design emphasizes vertical volume and a sharp, iconic silhouette. The footprint measures 50 feet wide by 32 feet deep, making it an efficient choice for rural, lakeside, or mountain sites where lot coverage must be managed without sacrificing interior capacity.
The main level encompasses 1,308 square feet, anchored by a central keeping room that utilizes the sloping rooflines to create a sense of scale. Two secondary bedrooms occupy the first floor, ensuring accessibility and providing a clear separation from the private upper level. A centrally located utility room and a full bathroom support the functional requirements of the ground floor, maintaining a logical flow that serves both residents and guests.
Occupying the second level, the primary suite provides 542 square feet of private living space, including a walk-in closet and access to a full bathroom. This level is enhanced by a 126-square-foot loft area that overlooks the main living space below. This flexible bonus zone serves as a secondary lounge, home office, or reading area, taking advantage of the natural light penetration characteristic of the A-frame architectural style.
Structural integrity is provided by 2x6 wall framing, paired with a crawl space foundation designed for varied topographical conditions. While the first floor features 8-foot ceilings to establish a grounded, intimate atmosphere, the upper levels open into the soaring roof structure. The combination of efficient square footage and vertical geometry results in a profile that is both durable and visually striking.
