The Modern A-Frame: A Classic Reborn

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.

A1-1200See how the Modern A frame building blocks enable every Modern A-frame to adapt to its site conditions : the path of the sun, the terrain, and the need for privacy. See how the building blocks easily transform each floor plan into an amazing variety of very different houses, ready for your personalization.

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.

A5-1900After the presentation there will be an a question and answer period, during which you can linger and explore the Modern A-Frame with our talented design pros.

Summary of Dwell on Design ’09, modern design show in LA

Our simple yet elegant booth setup.

Our simple yet elegant booth setup.

Last weekend’s Dwell show was a huge success, with over 12,000 attendees over the course of 3 days.  Our booth was near the back in the CB2 Outdoor Café, which was where all of the “outdoor” products were gathered: sheds, patio furniture, houses, landscaping, even barbeques. Across from our booth was a gleaming Airstream trailer, which I think would match nicely with the steel accents siding on the Lindal TD3 2100 plan!

The TD3 2100 - Can you see this with the matching Airstream out front?

The response to Lindal’s Turkel plans was overwhelmingly positive.  We had over 700 people pick up an invitation to the next live webinars by Joel Turkel this summer, and several people met at length with our dealers at the booth. Speaking of which… a big thank you to area dealers Gary Myers of Santa Barbara Cedar Homes, Frank Vingiano of San Diego Custom Homes, and Dennis Sanford of Rainbow Valley Cedar Homes for taking three long days away from their offices and staffing the booth! I think they’ll agree that the response was overwhelmingly positive!

Okay, enough words… Pictures!
