Spotlight on Glamping Structures - A-Frame Cabins
CREDIT FOR THE A-FRAME ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GOES TO AUSTRIAN-AMERICAN DESIGNER RUDOLPH SCHINDLER, AND A LAKE ARROWHEAD, CALIFORNIA HOME WHICH WAS DESIGNED BY HIM AND BUILT IN 1934.
INSPIRED BY THE LAKE ARROWHEAD HOME CALLED “THE BENNATI HOUSE”, ARCHITECT JOHN CAMPBELL DESIGNED AN A-FRAME CABIN IN THE 1950’S DUBBED “THE LEISURE HOUSE”, WHICH LED TO THE A-FRAME TREND EXPLOSION ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
TODAY, THE A-FRAME IS A POPULAR VACATION STRUCTURE THAT BOASTS A LARGE INTERIOR, INDOOR/OUTDOOR FLOW, AND A SIMPLE AND DURABLE DESIGN THAT WORKS WELL IN ALL SEASONS.
IN THIS ARTICLE, WE’LL DIVE A BIT DEEPER INTO THE DESIGN OF THIS ICONIC VACATION SYMBOL, AND HIGHLIGHT SOME GLAMPTUARYS AROUND THE WORLD THAT FEATURE THIS STRUCTURE AS A BEAUTIFUL GLAMPING OPTION ON THEIR PROPERTIES.
