Dave over at Grain Edit posted some pictures of an old booklet called Second Homes for Leisure Living by Douglas Fir Plywood Association. The booklet contains a few modern prefab designs from various architects including including George Matsumoto, Frederick Liebhardt, David George, and Henrik Bull.
There are some really fascinating A-Frames, one of them with an upstairs deck which was a first for me to see. Here is a screenshot of the A Frames, for the rest of the scans please visit Grain Edit. You won’t regret jumping over to Dave’s post.

There's something about A frames that I love… I can't get over the first design shown here (Double Deck). Nice big windows and a balcony, this would be my choice to build/renovate in the mountains 🙂

It looks like a pyramid to me.

Neat!
I found the site where this booklet can be downloaded in many formats.
