An A-frame is an architectural house style featuring steeply-angled sides that usually begin at or near the foundation line, and meet at the top in the shape of the English letter 'A". An A-frame ceiling is open to the top rafters.
Although the triangle shape of the A-frame has been present throughout history, it surged in popularity around the world in the post-World War II era, mid-1950s through the 1970s. After the rise of the archetypal A-frame, architects soon began experimenting with new designs; this led to what became known as the modified A-frame style.
