A-Frame Split-Level (12)
The
historic A-Frame is a building type often used in the 1960’s and 70’s
for vacations homes. This design appears to have been modified for a
number of houses in Northcrest. The A-Frame Split-level has a side
section of the roof that forms the letter A in which steeply angled
sides descend from the ridge and function as both a roof and a wall
enclosure. This feature combines to create three levels reminiscent of
the split-level with three floors and the A-shaped roof line adds a loft
area. Glass window panes or lights are a character defining feature in
the A portion where the living room and loft space is located. The
bedrooms are one flight up and the recreation room is one flight below.
The front door opens into the main living area with stairs going up to
the bedrooms and a set of stairs going down into the recreation room.
Between the kitchen and living room is a set of stairs that lead to a
loft area making it four levels. They often have carports attached
opposite the A-Frame.
