The Winter-Ready A-Frame

There's something about an A-frame house that seems so right for the winter season. Snow slides right off the sloping roof, making the house a natural for ski resorts and other chilly places. But when architect Andrew Geller designed his first A-frames, many were constructed on sandy beaches. Sunshine or snowfall, these innovative houses are made for fun.
