Eagle Rock a rustic A-frame retreat

The Eagle Rock manages to look both rustic and modern at the same time. While neatly stacked logs evoke images of pioneer cabins, A-frames and gables make it clearly contemporary.

This home is designed for construction on land that slopes down and to the side at the rear. Ideally, the window-rich rear A-frame will overlook a pleasing vista.

At ground level, the entry leads directly into the kitchen. People parking in the garage can enter via the unfinished basement, which could be developed as a living area and bathroom. At the side and rear, the two-car garage and walk-out basement are beneath the main floor.

Natural light washes into the vaulted great room through glass doors and three levels of windows, much like a Chalet house plan. This space is warmed by a woodstove, and open to the kitchen at the rear. Spiral steps  circle up to a vaulted loft, and atrium doors open onto an elevated V-shaped deck that mirrors the A shape rising above it.

Bedrooms, bathrooms and utilities fill the wings on both sides of the Eagle Rock’s central living area.
