The Modern A-Frame: A Classic Reborn

March 2, 2010, Comments (0)

A3-1200The designers of the new Modern A Frame invite you to an introduction of a reborn classic. The new Modern A-Frame may not look a lot like the original, patented by Sir Walter Lindal in the 1960s, but its spirit lives in this fresh and inspired new family of Lindal designs.

Join us for an hour-long program that will take you through the development of the Modern A-frame; how the disciplined use of the classic Lindal building system simplifies the design, personalization, and construction of these houses without ever sacrificing material quality.

This is an ideal program for an aspiring homeowner who wants an efficient planning process, a fresh smart house and the simplicity of a modernist lifestyle warmed by wood.
