Small house floor plans

Alexis is the classic A-frame house, which has been gaining popularity recently. The A-frame shape makes Alexis a lovely cozy little house, which everyone will love at first sight. The basic concept of the absence of interior walls creates a very homely feeling inside the cabin. There will be a space around the bottom parts of the walls/roof sides, which does not have a walking height; however, it provides a great place to be used as a storage space – you can either store things in cupboards or boxes, or you can use it for some furniture, for example for seating, to be put in when it is not being used. Another effective use of interior space is implemented by a sleeping loft, where you can climb up through little stairs at Alexis’s back. Therefore the ground floor reminds you less occupied with things and creates a cozy space for your daytime activities, with a chance to enjoy sunlight and beautiful views thanks to the front façade being entirely made of glass. The covered front porch only adds to Alexis’s exquisite relaxed atmosphere, one of our popular small house designs.

Construction PDF plans

Our cheap tiny house plans for sale will provide you with detailed information and instructions regarding Alexis construction. The tiny house uses a simple 2 by 4 timber frame. The floor consisting of timber joists is supported by concrete footings and holds the A-shaped gable roof. The front façade in the shape of the equilateral triangle has a glass section including two wings glass doors, connecting the tiny house’s interior with its covered front porch and providing a great source of light, fresh air, and views to be enjoyed inside Alexis. At the back part of the inside is a room that can be used as a bathroom, a little storage place, and doors leading to the back, where you can find another tiny covered porch, which can serve, for example, to store wood for your wood-burning stove. On top of the bathroom is placed aloft, accessible through little stairs.

2 reviews for A-Frame Tiny House Plans Alexis

  1. Dan (verified owner)

    I built the cottage 3 years ago and I am very happy with how it turned out, especially since I built it on my own.
    The total cost was about 15,000 euros, but also including cellulose insulation, the whole interior, the connection to the water network, the pool for wastewater, the 4 photovoltaic panels, the instant hot water … It really was worth the project!

  2. Fantasys

    This small cabin plan is designed to attract attention. At $21,200 estimated construction cost for ~400 sq. ft. of livable space, it s not bad Return On Investment. You also can t deny that the whole thing looks like one-half of an actual A-frame small house that was sawed in two.

Are any of the walls load bearing?

Support

No, there are load-bearing triangles in this structure; you can see finished triangles in this article.

How do you make sure the water pipes do not freeze. I guess they come in from underneath but if the bottom is raised there is air gap between the ground and floor and at that place water pipe can freeze?

Support

You need to insulate them or drain them for the winter.

Hello
I am interesting in having a free height of minimum 1.9M in the loft area.
I also think about having the lengh longer to have a longer porth, to protect for sun and a bigger house and bath. That is not a trouble I believe just adding more sections?

Support

Hi Joshua. Tell me plese if the electrical installation is on 12V (for me is better like this becouse I want to add 2 solar panels). I I buy this plan, will I have all the information necessary to build it on my own? If I am from Romania (Europe) it’s a problem ? Thanks.

Support

It is not specifically stated – you can put it in the bathroom, in the storage room behind kitchen or pretty much anywhere else, where you feel like it would be useful, it is up to you.

Where would you get the materials?

Support
7 years 2 months ago

Hi Elise,
I know I already replied to your email, but in case anyone else reading this is interested: That depends on your location. It would probably be some hardware store or lumber yard. The best thing is to search around your area, you can usually find information on google, in your local craft / building shops or companies or there are many forums related to DIY construction or tiny houses, where people often share advices on where to get materials.
Joshua

Support
7 years 2 months ago

Yes, exactly. You receive construction plans and instruction from us and it is up to you to get the materials.
