1960 DFPA homes Design #14

Here's another basic but striking A-frame cabin by Nagle and Associates, that's designed for the "blue snow" country. Built-up 2" x 12" beams rest on big concrete piers which are sunk into the ground 3 feet below grade. Of course, the steep pitched roof of Exterior fir plywood will not only shed the snow readily, but will resist mountain blizzards. To relieve the spartan A-frame lines, an extra pair of A-frames have been extended onto the spacious sun deck to form a shelter from the sun in both summer and winter. Inside, there's a wealth of wide-open wonderful space for taking your ease. Your eating pleasure is amply provided for in the compact 6' by 8' kitchen. A complete bath including shower fits into a few square feet. The living room contains 240 square feet with a cozy corner fireplace that's perfect for warming up next to after a hard day on the ski slopes. A 144 square-foot sleeping balcony overlooks the living room and is made readily accessible with a ship-type stairway. Fir plywood construction throughout the Ranger makes a tighter, stronger, longer-lasting vacation cabin.
